What is Meldpunt Bezorgd?

Sometimes you worry about someone. You want to prevent the situation from escalating. In that case you can call Meldpunt Bezorgd?, the registration centre for suspected social emergencies. Here you can have inhabitants of Delft, Westland, Midden-Delfland and Pijnacker-Nootdorp registered who are in trouble but who do not ask for help (anymore).

At Meldpunt Bezorgd? you can report, amongst others, people who:

• do not seek help themselves (so-called alarming care avoiders);
• live a lonely life (social isolation);
• are confronted with domestic violence;
• are confronted with elder abuse.

Employees of the Registration Centre, social psychiatric nurses and experienced social workers try to make contact ‘at the door’ and motivate the person to accept help. They investigate the problem and who is the best person to solve a difficult situation. Then comes the assistance, with which various organisations in the field of, amongst others, psychiatry, social work, budgetary guidance, debt and housing supervision may become involved.

This site offers more information on Meldpunt Bezorgd?, examples of problems, the target group and how it works. Furthermore, you will find an overview of the organisations involved with links to their sites.
