GGZ Rivierduinen

What GGZ Rivierduinen does

GGZ Rivierduinen is a Dutch non-profit mental healthcare institution (geestelijke gezondheidszorg) headquartered in Leiden, operating across at least 10 locations in the South Holland region. Founded in 2005 and employing 1,001-5,000 staff, the organization delivers a full continuum of mental health services to adults, elderly, youth, and children with psychiatric conditions including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, psychosis, autism, personality disorders, and neuropsychiatric conditions. The service portfolio spans outpatient clinics (Poliklinieken), multidisciplinary Dichtbijteams, FACT/Wijkteams providing home-based treatment, clinical recovery, protected housing, and 24/7 acute psychiatric services including Psychiatric First Aid and Intensive Home Treatment. Specialized units include the TOPGGz-certified Eetstoornissen Ursula eating disorders department, the Expertisecentrum Neuropsychiatrie for brain-injury co-occurring psychiatric conditions, and the Movens day-activities/work/learning program serving approximately 600 participants.

The underlying clinical technology stack comprises evidence-based psychotherapies (CGT, EMDR, schema therapy, Mentaliseren Bevorderende Therapie, family and systemic therapy) plus novel pharmacotherapy (esketamine nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression, launched 2025). Digital infrastructure includes the MijnRivierduinen patient portal with two-factor authentication, Therapieland e-health modules, Zorgdomein for digital referrals, ZIVVER for secure communication, and Matomo for privacy-compliant analytics. Research collaboration with Hogeschool Leiden (lector Simona Karbouniaris) supports recovery-oriented care development.

Revenue is generated through the Dutch mandatory health insurance system (Zorgverzekeringswet), with adult patients paying the annual deductible (€385-€885) and youth under 18 receiving care at no cost. Go-to-market is referral-based: GPs and specialists submit referrals digitally via Zorgdomein or standardized forms. The organization supplements clinical services with prevention training, self-help programs, and coordination of the Centrum Seksueel Geweld Zuid-Holland network (housed at its Leiden location). In June 2026, GGZ Rivierduinen joined the 1GGZ consortium with Altrecht, Fivoor, GGz Centraal, and Parnassia Groep to coordinate regional mental healthcare.
