Volunteer Supervised Contact Arrangement (BOR)

What do we do?

Humanitas BOR Apeldoorn focuses on supporting divorced parents in establishing a contact arrangement with their children. The interests of the child are paramount; the faster a well-functioning contact arrangement is established, the faster children can find a place between their divorced parents. The guidance is provided by motivated and trained volunteers. The support lasts approximately 3 to 6 months. After that, the parents have made an arrangement together.

Volunteers do not need to keep a file

Activities:

• the visits take place in the playroom and afterwards possibly at the parent's home
• As a volunteer you help children with the transition from one parent to the other
