“Child and adolescent psychiatry moves to new building: ‘Sixty registrations for every five free places’”


MECHELEN/DUFFELD The day unit for child and youth psychiatry at AZ Sint-Maarten moved from Duffel to Mechelen this week. The Therapeutic Atelier, TheA for short, was given a modern, new complex, but no additional places were created despite a major shortage in the region. “Sixty registrations for every five free spots,” says psychiatrist Danielle van de Merwe.

AZ Sint-Maarten launched TheA in 2018 on the Rooienberg Campus after a circular letter from the then minister Vandeurzen to all healthcare facilities in Flanders. “He called for initiatives to be taken to be able to offer this much-needed psychiatric care”, general director Jan Ennekens outlines the history of the development.
