What Transfore does

Transfore is a Dutch forensic psychiatric care provider (stichting/foundation) operating as a subsidiary of Dimence Groep, treating individuals with psychiatric vulnerabilities who have exhibited violent or sexually transgressive behavior. The organization serves approximately 1,500+ patients annually across the Overijssel and Gelderland regions, delivering integrated care across clinical secure inpatient facilities (Forence, FPA Rielerenk, FPA Almelo, FPK Balkbrug), outpatient polyclinics (De Tender) in six cities, Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (forFACT) teams, and supervised housing (Forensisch Beschermd Wonen). Service delivery combines clinical modalities (individual therapy, multi-day group programs, specialized LVB and short-duration programs) with digital tools: the Minddistrict e-behandeling platform for online treatment, the Trajectpuzzel visual treatment journey tool, the MijnTransfore patient portal, and the e-Module Goed Ernaast for family support, secured by ZIVVER encrypted communications.

The business model is reimbursement-driven through Dutch healthcare insurance (zorgverzekeraars/zorgkantoren) and the Ministry of Justice for patients under judicial measures, with patient contributions subject to the standard eigen risico deductible. Go-to-market is referral-based: patients are routed via general practitioners (huisarts), psychiatric institutions, judicial authorities, and regional Zorg- en Veiligheidshuis coordination. The "honeycombing" (trajectdenken) model allows flexible stepping up and down between clinical and ambulatory intensity. With approximately 200 employees and ISO 9001 certification, Transfore sits within the broader Dimence Groep ecosystem that bundles specialized GGZ, basic GGZ, addiction care, social work, prevention, and online treatment, providing cross-disciplinary expertise and shared back-office services. The non-profit structure means surpluses are reinvested in care rather than distributed to shareholders.
