Advice and consultation

At Kadera we are not only there for victims of domestic violence, but also for care providers who are faced with cases in which domestic violence plays a role. We understand that working with these complex problems is not always easy and that care providers sometimes need additional knowledge and support.

Consultation and advice from Kadera is aimed at supporting professionals in increasing safety and recovery in situations where domestic violence occurs. This may involve questions about specific cases, but also questions about the approach to domestic violence in general. By sparring with Kadera care providers, professionals can provide better help to people dealing with domestic violence.

Professionals in the social domain can contact Kadera in various ways, for example by telephone, e-mail or callback request. They are then linked to a Kadera counselor who specializes in domestic violence and child abuse. This care provider can look at the case or the question being asked and provide advice on how to deal with it.

This could, for example, involve drawing up a safety plan or action plan, making violence a subject for discussion or working with an integrated and system-oriented approach.

Quality Policy

Domestic abuse, or abuse in dependency relationships, is a broad social issue. Kadera provides quality assurance across the spectrum of this issue.

The relationship with our client is key. We want to offer our clients high-quality personal and small-scale assistance and services. We are demand-oriented, investigative and entrepreneurial. We are improving, researching and assessing our performance in various ways.

We do this by providing shelters for men, women and their children in Zwolle and Enschede, along with ambulatory counselling, education and training.

We use innovative and scientifically recognised methodologies such as Resilience and Krachtwerk to support the recovery of people who have been subjected to any form of domestic abuse.
