Jochies in youth aid<\/em><\/p>\n\n

When being tough and lying has become your identity, how can you detach yourself? From the same creator as the documentary Alicia, Rotjochies follows a number of adolescents who are given the opportunity in the French countryside to break free from old habits and grow in who they can be. It is an intimate and observational reporting. What makes these guys so cut-throat, to their environment and to themselves? Watch the documentary here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

How do we see the future in elder care? <\/em><\/h5>\n\n

The number of older adults in the Netherlands is set to rise sharply in the coming years: by 2040, there will be around 40% more older people. On average, an older person living at home in the Netherlands depends on as many as ten to fifteen different organisations, professionals, and support workers\u2014each with their own roles and responsibilities\u2014who often operate alongside one another without real coordination. If the Netherlands is to future-proof care for the elderly at home, the fragmentation of management and implementation needs attention. The documentary “No Place for the Elderly”<\/a> follows a number of elderly people in such situations.<\/p>\n\n

Five moms on the benefits affair<\/em><\/h5>\n\n

Five mothers talk on camera about<\/a> how far-reaching the consequences are for an individual to challenge an institution, in their case the Internal Revenue Service. They tell how their lives are forever affected by the confusing web they found themselves in – without having done anything wrong. <\/p>\n\n

A different (concrete) approach in youth care<\/em><\/h5>\n\n

Dutch youth care is struggling with many problems. Lecturer in Youth and Family Martine Noordegraaf believes the solution may lie in the approach of Ans and Cor Mulder, who for 30 years have been taking care of children who can no longer live at home. What makes this approach so revolutionary is that they invest a lot in their relationship with the parents of the children they care for. Noordegraaf believes this “relationship-based” approach can be the key to solving many other problems in youth care.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Investing in problem families beforehand<\/em><\/h5>\n\n

Action researcher Albert Kruijter makes the case for a government willing to invest in problem families before the problems get over their heads. He argues that you reduce the demand for care by doing the shopping for families for six months. How he does this math? Read all about it in this interview in the Volkskrant (paywall)<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Not youth care but family care<\/em><\/h5>\n\n

From colleague Jenneke Aartsen’s own kitchen: how the crisis in youth care can be resolved in the long run, namely by focusing on Family Care instead of Youth Care. A solution that remains underplayed in a debate that currently revolves primarily around the lack of staff and financial resources.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

The Special Government for complex issues<\/em><\/h5>\n\n

The Netherlands has an efficient provision system for 80% of its residents, but that same system does not work well for those with complex long-term problems and multi-problems, who need extra help or support. A Special Government may be the solution: a separate branch of government that provides personalized guidance and help tailored to those outside the system. Read the article here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n

How do you choose your future?<\/em><\/h5>\n\n

A full-time career consists of 80,000 hours, or 10,000 working days, or 2,000 work weeks. Rutger Bregman<\/a> argues how we waste this precious time on unimportant jobs<\/a>, when it would be better spent making a positive impact on the world. Because awareness is important, but only action can make a difference. <\/p>\n\n

Troubleshooting<\/h5>\n\n

A shift is happening at the major design fairs: designers have been hard at work on sustainability in recent years, but now other world issues are also being addressed. Climate, the housing crisis, nitrogen, you name it. These designers tell you about this approach; “approach social issues as if you were in love with them.”<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
