Pactum jeugd- en opvoedhulp

What Pactum jeugd- en opvoedhulp does

Pactum jeugd- en opvoedhulp is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting Pactum) headquartered in Zetten with operating offices across Gelderland, Overijssel, Noord-Brabant, and Limburg, providing the full continuum of specialist youth and family care under the Dutch Youth Act (Jeugdwet). Its service portfolio spans ambulatory jeugdzorg, diagnostics and treatment, foster care (pleegzorg), care families (zorggezinnen), professional family homes (gezinshuizen), residential living and short-stay, preventive low-threshold support, emergency/crisis care (spoedzorg), protected living (beschermd wonen) for ages 17-27, a room training center (kamertrainingscentrum), and a specialist Complexe Scheidingen (Complex Separations) team. Underlying delivery rests on established therapeutic methodologies including Nieuwe Autoriteit, Geweldloos Verzet, Schematherapy, and psychomotor therapy, plus specialized care models such as the Mockingbird community-foster network and Pleegzorg Dichtbij community-recruitment approach.

The organization operates on a government-funded managed-services model, contracted via municipal multi-year agreements under the Jeugdwet framework, with additional revenue from family-home arrangements structured as employee, subcontractor, or franchisee (via gezinshuis.com) engagements. Customers are effectively Dutch municipalities, courts, and the Raad voor de Kinderbescherming as institutional referrers; end-clients are families, youth up to 27, and foster/care/family-home providers. Distribution is regional and referral-led, supplemented by direct intake, community information evenings (informatieavonden), podcasts, social media, and client/youth councils. Pactum is a subsidiary of VIGO Groep, a diversified care group, and was formed in 2022 through the integration of Rubicon Jeugdzorg and BJ, with operational roots tracing back nearly 70 years to the Bethanië youth village. As of 2025 it employs ~891 staff across 10+ locations and recently relocated its primary Limburg office from Horn to Roermond.
