Welfare coach

A helping hand to participate again

Would you like to meet new people, take up a hobby or participate in an activity in your neighbourhood, but don't know where to start? The welfare coaches of Welzijn Lelystad show you the way. Together, we look at what suits you and what gives you energy and fun again.

For anyone who needs a little extra support

Our welfare coaches are there for all adults in Lelystad. Sometimes a little push is enough to get back on board:

• after the loss of a loved one
• in case of worries after a divorce
• When caring for a sick partner
• Or if you are just looking for a little more contact

Are you running into certain issues in your daily life and not sure where to turn? We are here for you!

Welfare coach Janet Smid explains:

'For example, I was with a lady who was worried about her husband with mild dementia. He really enjoyed playing billiards and we arranged that together. Sir really enjoyed getting out and his wife could take a breather.'

Welfare on Recipe

We work closely with GPs and practice support workers in Lelystad. Sometimes a healthcare provider refers you directly to a wellbeing coach. We call this Welfare on Prescription.

Here, we look not only at physical health, but also at how you feel mentally, whether you are meaningful, have contact with others and how you function on a daily basis. We call this Positive Health.

Creative living course

Everyone knows the feeling that there is more you can get out of life. That you want to be among people or get active. Being in the middle of life. Meeting people, mattering, participating, being with others. With the Creative Living course, you take control of what you like and what makes you happy. Register for free.
