Arkin Jeugd & Gezin

What Arkin Jeugd & Gezin does

Arkin Jeugd & Gezin is a non-profit division of Stichting Arkin, providing specialized child and youth psychiatry and addiction care for children, adolescents, and young adults aged 0-23 in the Amsterdam-Amstelland region of the Netherlands. The organization operates as a kernpartner (core partner) for highly specialized youth care under -18 in Amsterdam-DUO under the Jeugdwet, and serves adults 18+ funded through Dutch basic health insurance (zorgverzekeraar). Treatment scope covers ADHD/ADD, autism spectrum disorder, depression, anxiety, OCD, behavioral disorders, psychosis, and addiction (including substance use, gaming, and gambling) delivered via outpatient clinics in Amsterdam Noord, Centrum/West, and Diemen, supplemented by home-based treatment (Project aan Huis), community-based FACT Jeugd, relational and family therapy (Centrum voor Relationele Therapie), forensic youth services (Forensisch Jeugd Team), and school reintegration (Postjescollege Arkin, Altra College).

The service delivery model rests on multidisciplinary clinical teams (GZ-psychologists, child psychiatrists, orthopedagogues, social nurses) applying evidence-based protocols such as Denken + Doen = Durven for anxiety and Zelf Plannen for ADHD, with Routine Outcome Measurement (ROM) tracking. Digital care is delivered via the Minddistrict platform supporting client onboarding, self-help modules, and treatment assignments. Medication data exchange is integrated with the national Landelijk Schakelpunt (LSP) since March 2022. Research and education are anchored in the Academische Werkplaats GEZIeN, a 2023 collaboration with Levvel and Amsterdam UMC led by Prof. Christel Middeldorp. Prevention and training programs span youth (Time4U, Piepje, Billy Boem), young adults (How About You), parents (Triple P, Beter contact met je baby), and professionals (six-module SKJ-accredited KOPP/KOV training).

The business model is publicly funded healthcare with no direct consumer pricing: municipal contracts (Jeugdwet) cover all clients under 18 with no cost to families; health insurer contracts cover adults 18+ from basic insurance subject to the mandatory €385 (2026) deductible and a €40 no-show fee. GTM is referral-based, drawing clients from general practitioners (huisarts), Ouder- en Kindteams, schools, youth protection organizations (JBRA), and medical specialists, with centralized intake via 020-590 5555 and [email protected]. The organization is HKZ- and NEN7510-certified, GDPR-compliant, and holds a 7.6/10 CQi score (2025) and 9.1/10 Zorgkaart Nederland rating.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• GGZ inGeest: Large Amsterdam-based mental-health provider (part of Amsterdam UMC/VUmc). Broad incumbent: overlaps in outpatient GGZ and youth mental health, but operates across the full adult-and-elderly spectrum rather than specializing in youth.
• Altrecht: Utrecht-based specialized GGZ provider with a strong youth-psychiatry division (Altrecht Jeugd). Broad incumbent: similar service mix including outpatient clinics and intensive community treatment, but multi-region footprint.

Direct peers

• Lister: Dutch youth-care provider offering residential, ambulatory, and FACT-style community treatment for vulnerable youth. Direct peer in the youth multi-problem segment and a co-partner in De Combinatie (Amsterdam street-youth collaboration).
• Levvel: Amsterdam-based specialized youth mental-health and child-youth psychiatry provider (formerly De Bascule + Spirit). Direct peer: serves the same 0-23 Amsterdam-Amstelland population, co-founded Academische Werkplaats GEZIeN with Arkin in 2023, and jointly operates FACT Jeugd.
• Karakter: Dutch specialized child-and-adolescent psychiatry provider with multiple locations across the Netherlands. Direct peer: comparable outpatient youth psychiatry and ADHD/autism treatment portfolio, also linked to academic research networks.
• Triversum (De Kinderkliniek): Dutch pediatric and youth-health group including mental-health services for children and adolescents. Direct peer: comparable outpatient youth-mental-health treatment, though smaller in scale and geographically dispersed.
• HVO-Querido: Amsterdam-based organization for housing, welfare, and care for vulnerable people including youth. Direct peer in the FACT Jeugd consortium and De Combinatie, comparable in Amsterdam street-youth and multi-problem family work.

Emerging players

• Indigo: Dutch preventive and basic-GGZ provider for youth and adults, with strong digital front-door and self-help offerings. Emerging player: overlaps in early-intervention and digital care (e.g., Minddistrict-adjacent flows) but focuses upstream of specialized GGZ.

Others

• 113 Zelfmoordpreventie: Dutch national suicide-prevention platform with crisis lines, online support, and training. Others (ecosystem partner): complementary rather than competing; Arkin's crisis line and ABFT referral pathways intersect with 113's services.

Regional players

• Dimence: Overijssel/Drenthe-based GGZ provider offering youth mental-health and addiction services. Regional player: comparable outpatient and community-treatment model, but serves a different Dutch geography with no Amsterdam overlap.
