New forms of therapy are still being developed, for example, movement therapy such as running therapy. In addition to regular individual treatments, work is done in groups and with systems. We have close cooperation with other care lines, the IHT, and clinics.

• The multidisciplinary treatment team in Amsterdam, together with the treatment team in Haarlem, forms the young adult care line. The teams consist of psychiatrists, doctors, clinical and GZ-psychologists, basic psychologists, nurse practitioners, a psychotherapist, a systemic therapist, and a trajectory coordinator.
