YOEP Onderwijs en Zorg joins forces with Holland Capital

Amsterdam, December 3, 2021 – Holland Capital joins forces with YOEP Onderwijs en Zorg, a psychiatric organisation for children and youth that focuses on the interaction between family, education and care. With an in-house developed software platform, YOEP provides tailored youth care services. Thanks to our investment, YOEP’s growth ambitions can be achieved.

YOEP offers ambulatory specialist mental healthcare (SGGZ) to children and young adults up to 23 years old, operating from 5 locations in the Netherlands. By working together with the child, the parents, the school and other care providers, YOEP provides tailor-made solutions with a professional team, combined with the use of innovative software.

Own innovation and transformation platform
YOEP developed its own innovation and transformation platform ‘FunctioneringsProfiel’. This e-health app is used for screening, pre-diagnosis, monitoring, and to efficiently map a child’s psychological functioning. “With the use of this profile, tailor-made solutions can be provided, while applying the “first time right” principle. This ensures that we can provide the child or young adult with the help they so desperately need more quickly. In addition, it provides tools for efficient multidisciplinary consultation and management of healthcare, which in turn results in a reduction of healthcare costs.” said Simon van den Brekel, Director of YOEP.

Growth ambitions
In order to realise YOEP’s growth ambitions, a partnership has been started with Holland Capital.

“In Holland Capital we have found the partner who respects the identity and culture of YOEP and who, together with us, could guarantee the quality of care. We can make good use of Holland Capital’s expertise in the field of Healthcare to realise our growth ambitions. For example, we want to further develop the FunctioneringsProfiel app, expand the number of clinics and grow through selective takeovers. We look forward to jointly developing YOEP as a platform for innovative youth care.” Simon van den Brekel, Director of YOEP.

Margot Engels, partner at Holland Capital. “YOEP distinguishes itself from other clinics in the Netherlands by providing tailored services and an effective approach to youth care. YOEP uses a limited waiting list, which ensures that the client does not have to wait for the right care for an unnecessarily long time. We are proud to support YOEP in realising their growth ambitions.”
