Do you find it difficult?
Caring for your child,
even now that they are an adult?
Who is this for?
- Do you care at home for one or more children with a disability?
- Do you use a personal budget (PGB)?
- Do you live in Westland, Schieland or Delfland?
- Are you looking for people who can help you with the care for your child?
Then we would be happy to make an appointment with you.
What is a support circle?
These are volunteers who help you with the care for your child. Often they are a family member, someone you know, a friend or a neighbour. Sometimes a professional is also part of the group. You meet regularly to work together on the future plan for your child.
How can I get such a support circle?
We provide a professional to help you with this. We call them a support circle supporter.
They look together with you for people who want to help you and your family.
First, a plan is made. The wishes of your child are the main guide in this plan.
Then the support circle supporter helps the support circle to carry out the plan. Does everything that was agreed really happen? And does it happen on time? Is it all working out?
The support circle helps your child to be part of ordinary daily life.
What are places and activities that suit your child? Think of a sports club, the library, school and work.
The support circle takes some care tasks off your shoulders. Together, you look for solutions for the long term.
The support circle is made to last. It stays in place even if you are no longer there. It is support for life.
We listen to your child to hear what they want in life. We use this to make the plan. Think of making friends, living where they want, work and free time.
By an ordinary life, we mean a life that you choose yourself. Within the possibilities that exist. You live in your own home. You have contact with family and friends. If possible, you have work or daytime activities. This life is peaceful, predictable and familiar.
Parents with a support circle are no longer on their own. There are now more people who help. This means there is less stress at home.
Parents say: I can be a normal father or mother again. And the care for their child is easier to keep going.
There is more trust in the future.
Who pays for the support circle supporter?
You don't have to pay for it yourself. The care office DSW and Stichting Gewoon Leven have made arrangements for this.
Yes, let’s get to know each other!
If you are interested, we will get to know each other. At your home or at another place.
