Summary

Mentorship Noordwest en Midden deploys voluntary mentors for people who are not able to manage their own care and welfare.

Detailed description

Imagine that due to illness or a disability you are not able to stand up for your own healthcare interests. And you don't have a family who can help you with this. Wouldn't you also be happy with a mentor?


Ilse certainly is. She is 58 years old and has an intellectual disability. She finds it difficult to make decisions about care and welfare for herself. That is why she is very happy with her mentor Renske. As a mentor, Renske is Ilse's legal representative and confidential advisor. She visits her regularly and then they go for a walk or play a game. She also helps her to make choices in care and well-being. For example, about whether or not to vaccinate or operate. Renske also regularly talks with Ilse's caregivers. She ensures that agreements made are fulfilled. For Ilse, mentorship means maintaining one's own direction. Renske finds the mentorship an enrichment of her life.

Renske is one of the 370 voluntary mentors of the Northwest and Central Mentorship Foundation. Our Foundation offers mentorship to adults with intellectual or psychiatric disabilities, dementia or acquired brain injury. Mentorship is a legal protective measure, which is instituted by the court. Our Foundation is appointed for this by the court and as a mentor you carry out the mentorship. The Foundation trains and guides you in your role as a mentor.
