Family Problems
Sometimes there are problems within a family that you can no longer resolve on your own. For example, in the case of a divorce or when the situation at home is no longer safe or sustainable. This page provides information about help available in these situations. This way, you’ll know where to turn for advice and support.
Separation
Are you planning to get a divorce, or are you considering it? Health you reach clear agreements. Do you have children under the age of 18 and are you separating? If so, you must draw up a parenting plan together. This plan will include agreements regarding, for example, Health child-rearing after the divorce, child support, and communication.

Urgent youth assistance
If a child or family needs urgent help, please contact the crisis service for emergency youth assistance by phone outside of office hours at 088 066 69 87. The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Southeast Brabant of Veilig Thuis is available on weekdays outside of office hours, and all day on weekends and holidays.
The crisis service arranges for youth services to be deployed: your family receives support at home. If necessary, your child can go to a crisis foster family for a while. Or stay at a crisis shelter.
Crisis Service
If you’re experiencing a mental health crisis, call your primary care physician: they can refer you to the Lumens Crisis Service at. The Crisis Service is for people who need immediate help due to mental health issues. The Crisis Service is available from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.; on weekends and holidays, it is available 24 hours a day. Examples of situations for which you can call include: relationship problems that are getting worse, a suicide attempt (visit 113.nl), a serious traffic accident, or unmanageable tension between parents and children.
Someone else can also call on your behalf, such as a family member or the police. Often, you’ll receive assistance right over the phone. Sometimes, staff members will come to you to find a solution.
Crisis due to domestic violence
In an immediate emergency, call 911. If it's a little less urgent, check the Safe Home website. Here you can ask questions about violence in the home and child abuse. You can also report here if you are dealing with this. Safe Home is there for victims, perpetrators (those who use violence) and people who are concerned about others.
