About the CMD
Do you have a question about Health, youth and/or your income? You can contact the municipality for this, at the Center for Social Participation Department (CMD for short). You can contact the CMD if you are looking for:
- Youth assistance: guidance and support in growing up and educating children and youth.
- Help through the Wmo (Social Support Act). The municipality first looks at what you can still do yourself, with the help of family, friends and neighbors. If that turns out not to be possible, they will look at which facilities you can use. For example, a transport facility, assistance with the household or guidance with a Personal Budget (PGB).
- Income Support. You may be able to get income support if you have a low income at the welfare level.
- Debt assistance. Here you can get help if you have debts or arrears that you can no longer manage on your own.
- General Social Support. The municipality helps you with questions such as Health, housing, relationships, money matters and/or volunteering.
