These can be problems with a relationship, work, or for example, bringing up children. We also offer activities, workshops and courses. With us, you get to know new people, learn new things, develop your talents, do volunteer work and much more.

Het Profi-leerbureau
The Profi-learning agency supports residents from Amsterdam East in setting up or further professionalising resident activities and initiatives. The Profi-learning agency provides advice on subsidy applications and accountability, fundraising, (setting up) project plans and budgets, e-recognition, and the recruitment of volunteers or board members.

We help to find and improve the connection between specialist treatment teams, community care, welfare activities and basic services by working directly solution-oriented way. Roads offers all kinds of activities, in which the GGZ coach will set you in the right direction.

We can help you with questions like this. You’re welcome, we’re here for you! Harrison Pedro and Nicole van den Broek are both GGZ coaches in Amsterdam Oost.

Ouder- en Kindteams Amsterdam
Here in Amsterdam, parents can contact a Parents’ and Children’s team in the neighbourhood with all their questions about their child and the family. Small questions or big problems, we are there to think with you and find solutions.

Our vision:
That children and young people in Amsterdam grow up healthy and safe, and develop into resilient adults who can face the future with confidence.

Our mission:
We help children and young people to grow up healthy and safe and to develop themselves optimally. We do this together with them, their parents, and the environment around them. We do what is necessary to achieve this, so that children, adolescents and their parents keep a grip on their lives. We strive for equal opportunities for all children and young people. We therefore make extra efforts for those neighbourhoods and families that need support or youth support the most.

Our core values: Accessible, connect, and strengthen.
