The functional team in Aalst brings together the expertise of various partners to provide families with fast and accessible help through shared case management.

The functional team starts from the family's request for help, with transparency about the collaboration as an important principle. Various partners pool their expertise through shared case management to contribute to the situation, formulate useful advice, and adjust the approach where necessary.
The team includes organizations such as Zorgbalie, Vrij CLB, KDV Speelboom, Huis van het Kind Aalst, Wiegwijs, Kind en Gezin, Team START (early diagnostics), 1G1P RTJ De Tafels, ELP, Envia Dender vzw, MensenvoorMensen, Home-Start, and Advies & Coaching ADS.
The collaboration has three main objectives: seeking fast and accessible help within basic care, involving organizations that can play a role in the request for help, and offering additional care if needed.
Conditions for participation include the family's consent for case discussion, the referrer remaining the point of contact for the family and involved partners, and active feedback to the family and the functional team.
Professionals can submit their cases during online consultation moments on Fridays from 9 to 10 AM. This requires filling out the registration and consent form together with the family.
