The Heyanut Centre

The Heyanut Centre was founded in 2010 by professionals in the fields of medicine, education and social work and serves as a case manager for young people and families from all walks of life. The team considers each person's family as the most important factor in their life alongside the community.

 

Working with the family

 

After a professional assessment of the family, the family develops a work plan with Centre staff. The centre's team accompanies the family in transforming the quality of life for all of its members.  After implementing the solutions, the family is able to become functional once again.

​

• Mediation, contact, coordination and advocacy for families vis-a-vis government authorities such as the Department of Education or Welfare.
