What iHUB does

iHub (legally 'iHub', doing business as 'iHub onderwijs & familiezorg') is a Dutch private care and education organization headquartered in the Netherlands, serving vulnerable children, youth aged 0–23, and families facing complex psychological, relational, safety, and educational challenges. Its service portfolio is organized into three core lines — Familiezorg (specialist youth care), Onderwijs (education with additional support), and Pleegzorg & Gezinshuizen (foster care and family homes) — supported by specialized modules including Gezin Totaal (a systemic family treatment program with a one-week observation phase), Ambulant Crisisteam, Families First, Ambulante Spoedhulp, and Crisisdienst Pleegzorg. The organization operates physical sites in Rotterdam (Bergse Bos, Rotterdams Omgangshuis), Alphen aan den Rijn (Rijnhove), and Amsterdam (Fiom Amsterdam & Utrecht), with crisis services covering South Holland and Amsterdam/Utrecht regions.

The underlying delivery model is human-clinical rather than technology-platform-based; the 'core technology' is described as a social/healthcare service delivery platform but no proprietary software, AI, API, or app assets are disclosed. Service methodology emphasizes a systemic, family-inclusive approach using the JIM (Jouw Ingebrachte Mentor) network model, with solution-focused long-term outcomes rather than symptom-level treatment. Distribution is entirely referral-based through Dutch municipalities (wijkteams), certified institutions (gecertificeerde instellingen/GI), and Jeugdwet (Youth Act) funding channels — families cannot self-refer. Revenue is managed-services in nature, financed via municipal contracts, Jeugdwet allocations, and health insurers for certain treatments; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The organization is privately held with no disclosed parent company, ownership structure, headcount, funding rounds, M&A activity, or management team details. It maintains a formal complaints and trust-person infrastructure (with a referral partnership to national body Jeugdstem), CEDEO quality certification, and a recently published multi-year strategic course ('Meerjarenkoers'). Media partnerships — including a 2025 VPRO documentary collaboration — supplement institutional referral channels. Operational governance includes a Centrale cliëntenraad (central client council) and a published 'Erkenning' (acknowledgement) page addressing historical harms at the former ZIKOS institution in Harreveld.
