Main items of content, guidelines in the context of prevention
By recognizing young people and adults with (incipient) problems due to alcohol, drugs, gambling or gaming in a timely manner and providing effective help quickly, worsening of problems can be prevented. Moreover, the chance of recovery is greatest. Early detection is therefore an important part of Brijder Prevention's work.
Brijder cooperates with several mental health and social care organisations, whereby mutual exchange of access to client groups and vulnerable groups and joint development of prevention activities is ensured.
Brijder Prevention works together with municipalities, healthcare institutions, schools and other organizations and organizes regular and accessible activities aimed at various target groups.
Experiences in the field of prevention on European level
Brijder is part of the Parnassia Group, a large mental health organization in the Netherlands, and from there we have made various contributions to European projects.
In addition, we have always been kept informed of and involved in the various European projects by our predecessor in this network, Tactus Verslavingszorg.
