About @ease:
At @ease, young people between the ages of 12 and 25 can drop in or chat without obligation to discuss their concerns. Topics for discussion can be very different: heartbreak, drug use, divorce, bullying, eating behavior, study stress, sadness, debts, etc. No matter how big or small the personal questions are: at @ease they can talk about them. Anonymous and free!
There is a trained team of enthusiastic volunteers (mainly peers) and professionals who can respond well to people's concerns and - if necessary - can help someone (quickly) find the right care outside @ease.
At @ease we believe that no young person should be alone if life is not going well. And we could really use your help with that!
We offer you:
- a fun and friendly (!) team of volunteers and professionals to work with;
- a workplace where you gain experience in listening to and having conversations with young people;
- training and guidance together with fellow volunteers under the guidance of experienced healthcare and welfare professionals;
- a workplace where there is plenty of room for your ideas and initiative;
- volunteer work where you can really do something for young people.
What are you going to do?
- You can have @ease conversations on location in Apeldoorn and via chat with young people who are looking for a listening ear.
- You can contribute ideas and participate in promotional activities to ensure that more young people hear about @ease.
- You can join our social media team.
- Depending on your background, you can fulfill a role at @ease Apeldoorn.
Important to know:
- You complete the two-day @ease training before you start the conversations.
- You always conduct @ease conversations together with 1 other volunteer.
- You will receive guidance from a professional on location.
- We will apply for a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG) for you.
- Your own mental problems do not directly hinder you when you have conversations with young people at @ease.
- Your empathy is good and you are open to development.

At @ease we believe that things can be done differently. And that things have to be different. We want to help young people with (incipient) psychological complaints earlier. We do this by being a place where you feel welcome. We believe that no one should be alone when things go less well. We are here to listen to you. Talking helps. It is a relieve. It makes you stronger. You notice that you are not alone. And it can keep your problems from getting worse. 75% of all mental disorders arise before the age of 25. It is therefore important to get help on time. To prevent problems from worsening. And to prevent the need for long-term care (later).
