We are a multidisciplinary, highly specialized mental health care provider (GGZ) offering tailor-made care for children, adolescents, and (young) adults regardless of background, with particular attention to the international community. We work according to our innovative, transdisciplinary, recovery-oriented care program iCU (‘I see you’). Read more about iCU.
We ask all referrers to use ZorgDomein for referrals for specialist mental health care (sGGZ) to iMindU GGZ. This is the fastest way, provides complete referrals, and requires the least administrative time. If this is not possible, please make sure that the referral letter to iMindU GGZ meets the criteria required by the health insurer so that the adult patient can receive reimbursement for the care provided. For children, it is best to refer in consultation with the Youth and Family Team (JGT) to ensure that the child and family are eligible for reimbursed care within the budget allocated to iMindU GGZ by the relevant municipality.
Who can refer
All patients with mental health complaints that cannot easily be resolved through the POH-GGZ, the social domain, or who require specific care, for example due to multiple psychiatric disorders, comorbid somatic conditions, crisis sensitivity, or complex medication or therapy needs, can be referred.
Excluded are patients with acute psychosis, acute mania/bipolar disorder, eating disorder with BMI <14 requiring prior somatic admission, primary addiction disorder, conduct disorder or antisocial personality disorder, and/or IQ <60. We also note that in cases of acute or structural insecurity within the family, the confidential physician of Veilig Thuis must first be contacted—anonymously or following the steps of the domestic violence and child abuse reporting code using full identification. This applies to both children and adults who are victims of violence. Perpetrators of violence should be referred to forensic psychiatry. In cases of coercive control within a family, we can only treat the victims, and children only if the perpetrator of violence does not have parental authority, or possibly, on a case-by-case basis, if the court grants substitute consent for diagnosis and treatment.
For general practitioners, we have prepared a document regarding the registration of youth and adults, as well as an overview of inclusion and exclusion criteria, a guide on who to refer to an sGGZ psychiatrist, and information about somatic monitoring for patients with eating disorders.
