Moedige Moeders Volendam

What Moedige Moeders Volendam does

Moedige Moeders Volendam is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Volendam, Noord-Holland, founded in 2004 by Gary Kok as a workgroup for parents of drug-addicted children. The organization supports parents, partners, siblings and other relatives of drug users through weekly Wednesday-evening peer-support meetings at FC Volendam Kras Stadion (also accessible via Zoom), a daily telephone helpline (10:00-22:00, 06-38379733), and prevention-education resources. It also sells multi-urine drug test kits at cost price covering cocaine, MDMA, speed, THC, heroin and methamphetamine, with single tests now available for mephedrone (3-MMC/4-MMC 'Miauw Miauw') and ketamine; kits are available through the helpline, in person at Gerro and Esther in Winkelcentrum de Stient, and via volunteers in Monnickendam.

The organization runs public-facing anti-drug campaigns including 'Foute Vrienden' (launched 2016 for carnival/kermis, with posters in A0-A4 formats, priced €2.50 to €18.50) and 'Fuck Drugs' in cooperation with local sports clubs. It also promotes the educational publication 'Dagboek van een Drugsdode' by Eddy Veerman. Operating as a donation-funded charity with 5 employees (per firmographic data) and ISO 27001 information-security compliance noted in its privacy policy, the organization publicly opposes drug regulation/legalization in Dutch media (NOS, NRC, De Telegraaf, RTL Late Night) and advocates for stricter enforcement.

In 2012, the workgroup expanded nationally through the founding of Stichting Moedige Moeders Nederland, with a covenant signed in Oud-Beijerland involving multiple municipalities and replicated regional chapters in Spakenburg, Goeree Overflakkee, Bernheze, and Nijkerk. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; commercial activity is limited to test kits sold at cost and poster merchandise, with operating budget reliant on donations.

Broad incumbents

• Trimbos Instituut: Netherlands' leading knowledge institute on mental health and addiction; broad incumbent that researches and advises on substance use, overlapping thematically with Moedige Moeders' prevention mission but operating at national-policy scale.
• Leger des Heils Nederland: Salvation Army Netherlands runs addiction recovery, social support, and family programs nationally; broad incumbent that overlaps thematically with Moedige Moeders' support mission but with a much larger institutional footprint.
• Jellinek (onderdeel van Arkin): Major Dutch addiction care provider offering prevention, treatment, and family programs; broad incumbent with overlapping family-of-addicts support work but operating as a large professional treatment organization rather than a peer-led nonprofit.

Direct peers

• Stichting De Regenboog: Amsterdam-based foundation supporting people in vulnerable situations including addiction recovery; comparable Dutch nonprofit peer-support model addressing addiction and related social issues.
• Stichting 12 Stappen: Dutch self-help foundation running 12-step recovery meetings; directly comparable as a peer-led addiction support organization already linked from Moedige Moeders' own site, serving overlapping populations in the Netherlands.
• Intact Herstel Zelfhulp: Netherlands-based self-help organization focused on addiction recovery; directly comparable peer support model, also linked from the Moedige Moeders website as a sister resource.

Regional players

• Brijder (Parnassia Groep): Addiction care provider primarily serving the North Holland region (where Moedige Moeders is also based); regional player providing professional addiction treatment and prevention services in the same geography.
• IrisZorg: Major addiction and social care provider in Gelderland; regional player with comparable family-focused addiction support programs but operating in a different Dutch geography from Moedige Moeders' Volendam base.
• HVO-Querido: Amsterdam-focused foundation providing shelter, support, and care to people with addiction and related problems; regional player with overlapping social-support mission but operating in a larger city context than Volendam.

Emerging players

• GGZ Interventie: Dutch intervention and addiction support services; partially comparable in that it provides addiction-related guidance to families and individuals, but operates in a more clinical intervention framework than Moedige Moeders' peer-led approach.
