Monthly · 4 to 8 hours Mentorschap Haag en Rijn

Imagine that you are unable to stand up for your own healthcare interests due to illness or a disability (dementia, intellectual disability, psychiatric illness). Someone who independently expresses your wishes and opinions well. You help make decisions in healthcare and welfare. And who visits you regularly to get to know you well? She finds it difficult to make her own decisions in healthcare and welfare. That is why she is very happy with her mentor Renske. As a mentor, Renske is Ilse's legal representative and confidant. She visits her regularly and then they take a walk or play a game. She also helps her make choices such as whether or not to have a vaccination or surgery. Renske also ensures that agreements made are fulfilled through consultation with Ilse's healthcare providers. For Ilse, mentorship means maintaining her own control. Renske finds mentorship an enrichment of her life. Renske is one of the 370 volunteer mentors of the Haag en Rijn Mentorship Foundation. Our Foundation offers mentorship to adults with an intellectual or psychiatric disability, dementia or acquired brain injury. Mentorship is a legal protective measure imposed by the court. The Foundation trains and guides you in your role as a mentor. Besides Ilse, there are many more people looking for a mentor, so become a mentor too!
