"Krachtig Vitaal" Starts Up Again in September

This is an old post.

A new series of “Krachtig Vitaal” will begin in September 2026. This is a 12-week program for residents with a “ Social assistance benefit ” who want to work on their health, energy, and self-confidence. You’ll participate twice a week in a fixed group, with guidance tailored to your situation.

What does the program entail?

During the program, you'll spend about four hours a week working on yourself. Here, you'll discover:

  • what your talents are;
  • what you like;
  • all the possibilities, for example, in the areas of work or volunteer work.

You’ll also start working on a healthy lifestyle: exercising together, doing workouts, and preparing healthy meals. The first few weeks focus on Positive Health. After that, you’ll follow a program tailored to your goals. The MoveFactory helps you get fitter and stronger.

The sessions are held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the Kerkrade Library and the Flexiforum. After 12 weeks, you’ll work with your counselor(s) to determine your next steps.

Sign up

You can only sign up for Krachtig Vitaal through your Work & Income counselor. The counselor will work with you to determine whether the program is a good fit for you. Be sure to sign up on time, as there are only a limited number of spots available.
