Volunteer Guided Visitation Arrangement (BOR)

What are we doing?

Humanitas BOR Apeldoorn focuses on assisting divorced parents in establishing contact arrangements with their children. The interests of the child are paramount; the sooner a well-functioning contact arrangement is established, the sooner children can find a place between their divorced parents. The guidance is provided by motivated and trained volunteers. The support lasts approximately 3 to 6 months. The parents then made an arrangement together.
