for implementing effective elements in care for families with severe parenting problems and multiproblem situations

Valuable knowledge

From 2016 to 2020, the consortium for Severe Parenting Problems and Families with Multiple and Complex Problems (SPP&MCP) conducted research into the content of care for these families. This research yielded valuable knowledge. However, professionals struggled with translating this knowledge into everyday practice.

Practical guidance and tools

In a recently completed ZonMw VIMP project, the acquired knowledge regarding the elements 'collaborating with the social network of families' and 'collaborating with young people' was translated into practical guidance and tools for professionals, together with experienced young people, parents, and professionals.

Developed products and tools

The project has delivered the following end products and tools:

Workshops (in Dutch) Conversation Sheet (in Dutch)
  • Een praatplaat met concrete handvatten en praktische tips voor professionals om gelijkwaardige samenwerking met het gezin en de mensen om hun heen vorm te geven.

Factsheets (in Dutch) Knowledge Clips (in Dutch)
Reflection Cards (in Dutch)

Reflectiekaarten waarmee professionals kunnen reflecteren op de werkzame elementen in de hulp aan ZOP&GMCP. Bij interesse voor deze reflectiekaarten kan contact worden opgenomen met Loraine Visscher (l.visscher rug.nl).

Lessons Learned (slides in Dutch)

We reflect on a valuable and enlightening project that has yielded some valuable end products and tools as outcomes. Drawing from our experiences in this project, we are keen to share a few lessons learned:

  1. When translating knowledge into practical tools for professionals, utilize existing knowledge supplemented with practical and experiential knowledge. This approach prevents reinventing the wheel and ensures that the end products and tools better align with the desires and needs of young people, parents, and professionals.
  2. Collaborate with a trainer who is an expert in the theme and also has practical experience when developing workshops. This collaboration helps reach professionals, and the trainer can better empathize with them.
  3. Emphasize connection and collaborative efforts with relevant partners and existing (knowledge) networks. By doing so, strengths and expertise can be combined in the design, implementation, dissemination, and sustainability of outcomes.
  4. Pay attention to the extent to which organizations facilitate their professionals in terms of time and space to utilize developed end products and tools. This increases the likelihood of successful implementation in practice.

This project was a collaboration between the Expertise Centre for GMCP, the Collaborative Centre of care for youth Friesland, Windesheim University of Applied Sciences, C4Youth, Stjoer, Jimmy’s Leeuwarden, Community Support, Zorgbelang Groningen, experienced young people, parents, and professionals.
