What Yorneo does

Yorneo (Stichting Yorneo) is a Dutch non-profit foundation (ANBI-registered, KvK 04062063) providing specialist youth care services across all twelve municipalities of Drenthe province from its headquarters at Lauwers 14, Assen. Its service portfolio covers the full clinical continuum for children aged 0–18 (up to 23 if already in treatment) and their caregivers: ambulatory evidence-based programs (IOG, IOG Jonge Kind, PMTO, MDFT, MST, SRBT, Hulp na Scheiding); multi-disciplinary day treatment at three Medisch Orthopedagogisch Centrum (MOC) locations in Assen, Emmen, and Hoogeveen; 24-hour care through foster care (Pleegzorg), family homes (Gezinshuizen), GmV residential placements in Assen and Meppel, and a Youth Independence Program; 24-hour crisis response via its own team and Spoed4Jeugd; and preventive professional support for primary/secondary educators (YOOP) and preschool/out-of-school care (Vroeg Erbij). The intervention model is biopsychosocial and system-based, drawing on HKZ-certified quality standards and reported outcomes such as a 94% MST rate of preventing out-of-home placements and Treeknorm-compliant four-week referral-to-intake timelines.

Yorneo operates on a single-payer, government-funded revenue model: it is reimbursed entirely through municipal contributions under the Jeugdwet (Youth Act), with services delivered free of charge to families following a referral from authorized referrers (general practitioners, municipalities, pediatricians, CJG, Jeugdbescherming Noord, judges). The legal form is a stichting governed by a Raad van Bestuur (currently chaired a.i. by Martin Kirchner following the departure of Jeroen Regtuijt) and a Raad van Toezicht. Distribution is via referral-based intake through Zorgdomein or direct contact; delivery occurs through regional ambulatory teams (Noord-Midden, Zuid Oost, Zuid West), fixed-site MOC/GmV facilities, and foster/family-home networks. Technology adoption outside clinical delivery is limited to secure communications (Zivver, in use since April 2023), referral coordination (Verwijsindex), and standard web tooling.

The organization is positioned as a designated regional provider within a regulated ecosystem, partnering through FACT Jeugdteam Drenthe (with VNN, Accare, Ambiq, Promens Care, GGZ Drenthe), Spoed4Jeugd, MDA++, CJG municipalities, Veilig Thuis Drenthe, and academic collaborators Rijksuniversiteit Groningen and Hanze Hogeschool Groningen. Its defensibility rests on regulatory designation, embedded referral relationships, multidisciplinary clinical credentials, and infrastructure spread across Drenthe, rather than on proprietary technology or AI capabilities — none of which are evident in the disclosed information.
