Special Care is designed for people who usually do not ask for help themselves. There is often care-avoiding behavior with risk of pollution, nuisance, danger to themselves or others, risk of (domestic) violence and homelessness in combination with LVB problems. The request for help is often made by or through third parties. For example, the family doctor, the social neighborhood team or the Special Care Disclosure Office GGD. It usually involves multiple problems that are complex in nature and can pose a danger to both their own health and that of their loved ones. Think of honor-related problems, domestic violence, loverboys, childbearing and worrying pregnancies, nuisance, addiction problems, safety risk due to incipient crime and psychiatric problems.
