Slow Home Bingo!

Janus has been living through Discus in a cozy decorated house in Amsterdam Noord for a number of years. Janus collects things to turn them into artistic objects in his home. Because of his cozy home, he no longer has much to look at outside the door. He doesn't do more than go to the supermarket and coffee shop.

Become an ambassador too!

Our stories are told by care providers from various healthcare-related bodies. Do you also have experiences that are worth sharing?

Small ideas with a big impact!

Our goal is to inspire people by showing how things can be done differently! We do this by sharing experiences from various healthcare-related bodies from different countries.

Otherwise, it is also possible! is an initiative of Discus & HVO Querido.

Our approach

Erasmus+ project

Erasmus +, the subsidy program of the European Commission, offers people of all ages the opportunity to share their knowledge and / or learn from (other) professionals from another country.

Restoring dreams to tackle loneliness

Did you know that more than 46% of Amsterdammers sometimes feel lonely and more than 13% even extremely lonely? During the K1 project (job shadowing), a study was conducted with fairly confrontational results.

Anders kan het ook!

This probably sounds familiar. Someone asks you to come up with a solution to a problem. Of course you can and you immediately start thinking about the resources you have at your disposal.

Innovative customized support

What exactly does innovative custom support mean? Exactly, customization. Of course there are guidelines that give us a push in the right direction. That helps. Pretty much even. However, we like to do things a little differently, because we can.

Inspire by sharing

The expertise center is the place where everything comes together. It’s where the magic happens. It is the spider in the Housing First web.

The DNA

Our work is more than applying the described methodologies. One housing supervisor will be inclined to celebrate every positive development, while the other will find very creative solutions for situations that our clients have to deal with.

The power methodology

A good working relationship is the most important condition to be able to do anything in the recovery or development of people. That is why we have been working with our own translation of the Force-oriented Basic Methodology (KBM) since 2018.

The 80/20 principle

The 80/20 Principle is an aid to work in a targeted manner. This principle was devised in the early 20th century by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto and generalized by the American Joseph Juran.

The profiles

We are all different. Even if our counselors work according to the principles of the Force methodology and our own DNA, they are not the same.

Housing First principles

Housing First blew over from the United States in 2006. The concept is based on the idea that homeless people with a mental illness and an addiction benefit primarily from their own home.
