Deventer, The Netherlands

Ruimte Voor Jou (RVJ): Specialized Mental Healthcare for Transgender and Gender-Diverse Adults.

A pre-operational specialized Specialistische Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg (SGGZ) clinic serving the Overijssel and Gelderland region.

The Problem

The Waitlist Crisis in Gender Care.

Academic centers, such as Amsterdam UMC, currently operate with waitlists exceeding four years.

Patients are explicitly mandated to seek localized psychological support during this interim.

There is currently zero specialized, multidisciplinary SGGZ provision serving the Overijssel and Gelderland border region.

This systemic inefficiency directly correlates to elevated acute psychiatric admissions and lost labor-market participation.

> 4 Yrs

Current Academic Waitlist

Leaving a critical gap in care for thousands of individuals awaiting specialized support.

Our Goal

Bridging the Regional Care Gap.

RVJ answers the mandate for localized psychological support.

We intercept the overflow of patients waiting for academic centers, providing essential care while reducing the systemic burden on tertiary institutions.

We operate as a Sectie III multidisciplinary SGGZ-instelling under the Zorgprestatiemodel.

Our clinical mandate focuses on trauma-informed, transgender-affirmative psychological and psychiatric care.
