• The clinic high intensive care is an acute admission ward with 21 admission places. We treat patients between the ages of 18 and 60 with a very diverse background and varying psychiatric conditions who are in a severe crisis. Our goal is to avert the crisis and strive for a short-term admission in close cooperation with the patient, their loved ones, and outpatient care. In this, we work according to the HIC model.

• Although admissions are often not voluntary, we strive to minimize coercion and compulsion. 

• The HIC of the Nieuwe Valerius has been renovated. We have a separate ICU/ EBK on the ward. This allows us to provide even better care, following the latest HIC methodology, to our patients.

• Our multidisciplinary team consists of nurses, supervisors, psychiatrists, doctors, psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and experts by experience. We have excellent partnerships with hospitals and other healthcare clinics.
