About Karakter kinder- en jeugdpsychiatrie Almelo

Karakter provides child and adolescent psychiatry in Almelo and at locations in several provinces. Children and young people can receive diagnostics, advice and treatment for mental health problems, together with their family and network.

Diagnostics and treatment

Karakter investigates what problems the child and family are facing and looks for suitable solutions together with them. Treatment may include conversations and exercises, with the child alone, with parents, the family or in a group; medication is sometimes used.
