About De Hoop

Visiting clients

After clients have been admitted for two weeks, they are allowed to receive visitors.

Parents and/or partners may visit once a week. Pastoral workers and/or pastors from the clients' own congregation are also allowed to visit. These visits can take place when necessary. Visits are only allowed with the client's prior written consent.

Prior to a visit, visitors will first meet with the head of the center where a client is admitted. During this meeting, visitors will receive information about De Hoop.
