First message

What to include in your first message

You don’t need to have your question fully worked out before reaching out. A brief description is enough to get the first conversation started well.

  • Who you are seeking support for: a child, teen, adult, parent or the whole family
  • What is currently causing difficulties or concern
  • Whether the focus is mainly at home, school, work, family or in daily life
  • What has or hasn’t helped in the past, if relevant
  • How you would prefer to be contacted: email, phone or WhatsApp

No pressure to be complete

Your first message is simply to make contact. The situation will be discussed calmly after that, step by step, without any pressure or rush.

Reaching out in English is completely fine: NNorthHarp offers support in both Dutch and English.

Parenting support and family

Sensory triggers and predictability

For situations where sensory overload, stress, clear communication, recovery moments and predictable structure play an important role.

PGB support

For questions about support when a personal budget (PGB) may be involved, focused on the care content, not on applications or assessments.

Long-term care (Wlz)

For questions about support for ongoing care needs, continuity, structure and daily coordination within existing long-term care arrangements.

What happens next

What to expect from the first contact

After your message I will get in touch. We will have a brief conversation about what is happening, who the support would be for, and which type of support might be a good fit.

The first contact is meant to explore calmly. If NNorthHarp seems like the right match, we will discuss a possible next step. If not, that will be stated clearly too.

What we can calmly discuss

  • Who the support would be for
  • What question or concern is on your mind
  • What home, school, work or family needs right now
  • Which type of support could be a practical fit
  • What a realistic and manageable next step might be
PGB and Wlz

Clear boundaries: care assessments, applications and decisions

NNorthHarp can tailor the support content to a care need, but does not take on the role of authorised bodies in PGB or Wlz processes.

  • NNorthHarp does not issue care assessments (indicaties)
  • NNorthHarp does not submit PGB or Wlz applications
  • NNorthHarp does not assist with submitting applications
  • NNorthHarp does not decide on care or budget allocation
  • Assessments, applications and decisions are handled by authorised bodies

What the first conversation can cover

During an introductory call we can calmly explore whether NNorthHarp’s support could practically fit your care question and existing arrangements.

PGB stands for persoonsgebonden budget, a Dutch personal care budget that lets you arrange your own care. Wlz (Wet langdurige zorg) is the Dutch Long-term Care Act covering ongoing care needs.

What happens after I send a message?

After your message I will get in touch to discuss what is happening, who the support would be for and which next step seems realistic and manageable. If NNorthHarp is not the right fit, that will also be stated clearly.

Can NNorthHarp help with PGB or Wlz arrangements?
