Core offering

Stichting Leviaan delivers community-based mental health and social support services for people with psychiatric vulnerabilities and autism in North Holland. Its core offerings are Beschermd wonen (protected housing in group homes or individual apartments), Ambulante begeleiding (ambulatory coaching in the client's own home, including remote video coaching), Buurtkamers (open-access neighborhood drop-in spaces) and Dagbesteding/participatie programs (work-oriented day activities). Services are delivered through 12 wooncirkels and the Mijn Leviaan client portal, underpinned by the krachtenaanpak strengths-based methodology.

Product overview

Stichting Leviaan is a Dutch mental health and social support organization that has operated for 40 years, formerly known as RIBW Zaanstreek Waterland West-Friesland. The organization provides a comprehensive suite of support services centered on the Wooncirkels (Living Circles) model—a neighborhood-based approach where coaching and support are organized around geographic circles with a central 'kern' (core). Core services include Beschermd wonen (protected housing) with shared group homes or individual apartments, Ambulante begeleiding (ambulatory guidance) with both in-person and video-based remote support, and Buurtkamers (neighborhood rooms) as low-threshold drop-in spaces. The Krachtenaanpak (Strengths Approach) methodology underpins all services, emphasizing client self-determination and recovery. Leviaan operates the Mijn Leviaan client portal for digital access to services, offers the Durfjijmetmij partnership platform for social connections, and provides various participatie (participation) programs including work experience at locations like Stepa, RataPlan, and Upcycle. The Trainingscentrum West-Friesland serves young adults transitioning to independence.

Emerging players

• Parlan: Dutch youth and family care organization that participates with Leviaan in the Integraal Gezinsteam in West-Friesland. Comparable in providing community-based support for vulnerable populations, though focused on youth and family services rather than adult psychiatric care.
• Philadelphia Zorg: Dutch care provider supporting people with intellectual disabilities, including those with co-occurring psychiatric vulnerabilities. Comparable to Leviaan's Genuahaven-style service for elderly with mild ID and psychological vulnerability, though broader in scope across the ID spectrum.
• Prinsenstichting: Dutch care provider specializing in people with intellectual disabilities and related vulnerabilities. Partnered with Leviaan on the joint Genuahaven location in Purmerend and on shared support points (steunpunten), addressing an overlapping elderly-with-ID-and-psychiatric-vulnerability segment that Leviaan also serves.

Broad incumbents

• Parnassia Groep: The largest mental-healthcare provider (GGZ) in the Netherlands, offering inpatient, outpatient, and community mental-health services. Comparable because Leviaan has an active partnership with Parnassia for clinical-to-community transitions and shares clients across the GGZ-RIBW boundary, putting them on the same care continuum for the same population.
• Arkin: Large Amsterdam-based GGZ provider offering mental-health treatment, supported housing, and recovery services. Operates as a broader GGZ incumbent with overlapping clinical-community service lines, comparable in target population and recovery-oriented approach though at larger scale and wider geography.
• GGZ Noord-Holland-Noord (GGZ NHN): Regional GGZ provider covering the same North Holland region as Leviaan, including West-Friesland. Partnered with Leviaan in the Integraal Gezinsteam, and operates the clinical counterpart to Leviaan's community-care services for overlapping client populations.
• Cordaan: Major Amsterdam-based care provider offering supported housing, ambulatory support, and participation programs for people with psychiatric and intellectual vulnerabilities. Comparable in service mix and target population, though operating at metropolitan scale rather than regional Dutch town scale.

Direct peers

• Kwintes: Major Dutch provider of supported housing (beschermd wonen), ambulatory support, and participation programs for people with psychiatric vulnerabilities — directly overlapping Leviaan's core offerings. Operates across multiple Dutch regions and serves a comparable client population with a similar mix of housing, ambulatory, and day-activity services.
• Lister: Dutch nationwide organization providing supported housing, ambulatory guidance, and recovery-oriented care for people with psychiatric vulnerabilities. Directly comparable to Leviaan in target population (adults with mental vulnerabilities), service mix (beschermd wonen + ambulante begeleiding), and recovery-based methodology.

Regional players

• Esdégé-Reigersdaal: Dutch care provider for people with intellectual disabilities and psychiatric vulnerabilities, active in North Holland. Partnered with Leviaan in the Integraal Gezinsteam and serves a partially overlapping client population in adjacent geographies.
