Gezin en Handicap

What Gezin en Handicap does

Gezin en Handicap vzw is a Belgian nonprofit association (vzw) founded in 1986 and headquartered in Antwerp, dedicated to supporting parents and families of children with disabilities. Its core offerings are informational rather than product-based: the organization delivers infomomenten and webinars, multi-day courses, workshops, and provincial infoavonden on topics centered on Belgian family-disability law, most prominently bewindvoering (guardianship). It runs a documentation center, self-publishes books and the Kannet-gazet member magazine, and operates an annual Familiedag community event. It also provides bookkeeping templates and video tutorials that help familial guardians use the federal CRBP (Centraal Register van Bescherming van de Personen) digital system for guardianship filings.
