“Recovery-oriented and individual approach”: new approach community institution De Zande

The end goal is to give them another chance to do better. But now they do it differently. Flemish Minister of Welfare Hilde Crevits came to see it for herself.

141 young people live in youth institution De Zande. They have been placed by the juvenile judge because they have a few things on their record.

The young people get a new chance here. Despite their journey, they still have a whole life ahead of them. The minister realizes that this kind of work is a major challenge for the multidisciplinary team of supervisors. The new approach and the new decree aim to make it more feasible for employees in the care of young people as well.
