Three DollsVilla's left today for the outpatient treatment centers of GGZ Westelijk Noord-Brabant in the Netherlands [Dutch centers for mental health care]. In the two play/treatment rooms in Bergen op Zoom and Roosendaal, they will support the work of psycho- and play therapists, healthcare and clinical psychologists. For young children.

A DollsVilla will also try to show its value in the intensive part-time treatment. 'Part-time' means that the children live at home, attend their own school and receive treatment at GGZ WNB two days a week [during school hours].

The children may have developmental problems and/or psychiatric problems that get stuck in several areas [home, school, free time]. Parents follow parent-child therapy and system therapy at the location of the part-time treatment.

"The house is loved! Small children even want to crawl into it, we have experienced that several times. At GGZ poli Hoorn, the DollsVilla has been given a prominent place in the middle of the waiting room. Child therapist: "Every time I pick up a client from the waiting room, they play along" #beautifulfunction.

SLINGELAND HOSPITAL PEDIATRICS

And now it is the turn of the Doetinchem hospital Slingeland to use the DollsVilla for its work in paediatrics!

The DollsVilla on wheels, with foot brakes, can be easily moved from the pediatric ward to the outpatient clinic and to the playroom and even to a child's hospital room! Thanks to the height, the child can play with the villa from bed.

DOLLSVILLA IN TREANT HOSPITALS

The medical pedagogical care providers of the Pediatrics departments of the Treant Scheper hospital Emmen and of the Treant Bethesda hospital in Hoogeveen are starting the use of the DollsVilla with verve.

The gender-neutral DollsVilla stimulates communication between child and adult[s] in healthcare and contributes to observation, diagnosis and treatment.
