Accessibility
For acute, emergency help outside office hours, you can always contact your local GP out-of-hours clinic. There they can assess whether you should be referred to the 24-hour crisis service of the ggz.
Waiting time
We currently have a waiting time of 4 to 8 weeks for intake. This depends on the demand for care, care intensity and the availability of our therapists. The intake procedure consists of 2-4 interviews.
There is no distinction between the waiting time of registration and citb treatment, as treatment starts after the intake procedure.
