Members Family Council GGZ Friesland

When a loved one goes to GGZ Friesland for treatment or admission, it is often a major event. First and foremost for the person concerned, of course, but also for the family, relatives and others close to them.

It is therefore crucial to give family and close relatives a voice and that is exactly what the Family Council of GGZ Friesland does. To continue doing this important work, our Family Council is looking for additional members; a chairman, members for the executive committee and general members.

Our Family Council consists of people who are members from different considerations. You may have a loved one in care, but even if you do not and you think cooperation with loved ones within care is important, we welcome you to join our council.

Would you like to contribute ideas and discuss policy issues, advise GGZ Friesland on these issues and stand up for the collective interests of patients' families and caregivers? Do you think the cooperation with family members and caregivers is as important as we do? Then sign up!

Join us at the table!
