First steps in Exploring the Dutch Mental Health System
1. Recognize You Need Help
It's okay to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or down sometimes. Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward feeling better. You're not alone in this, we are here to help you!
2. Visit Your Family Doctor
Make an appointment with your GP (family doctor). Please be open and do not worry about what to say: just share what you’re going through. If your GP thinks that you could benefit from talking to a mental health professional, they will decide if Basis or Specialist "GGZ" is right for you.
3. Do your homework
When you go to the GP, already identify a GGZ covered by your insurance which can provide you support according to your status. Based on the information you provide, this can help tremendously in reducing waiting times to access the help you need.
4. Reach out
If you do not know how to navigate 3., send us an email! Reach out on Instagram! We are here to help you to access the mental health service in the Netherlands with the shortest waiting line possible.
We are not professionals, but we can relate. We know the struggle, and we truly believe in helping each other.
