The Waiting House offers an immediate, accessible and non-residential bridging period between the request for help and the effective help. Psychodiverse people between the age of 17 and 117 who are waiting for psychological help are potential participants.
We do not offer therapy, but we take care of each other.

For seekers, vibrant generator of ideas, do-nothings, stragglers, dreamers, loafers, hoovers with feelers but no filters, silent observers, jump-arounds, colour visionaries, not-out-of-bed goers, foresters who no longer see the forest or the trees, natural law thinkers, I-can't-do-it people, lost-walkers, chaotic forgeters and other birds who are tired and therefore also tired of waiting (alone).

The Waiting House is there for psychodiverse people between the age of 17 and 117 who are waiting for psychological help.

You can come to our Waiting House to slow down together. Together we can drink coffee, think, cook, make (or listen to) music, paint, read, garden, walk with our waiting dog through all kinds of weather and wind, write, do puzzles, make clothings, knit, photograph, do your administration, talk, meet like-minded people, meditate, etcetera. 

First, you unwind. Then we make agreements you feel comfortable with. You take the time to think about what direction you want to go and gradually deal with the small things in life again. You are in charge and you decide how fast or how slow we wait. Eventually, if you want, you can move on to volunteer.

The Waiting House values research and continuing education and is inspired by humanistic and holistic views of people (e.g. Carl Rogers, Eugene Gendlin). Our staff has an eye for people in their own complexity and autonomy from the basic attitudes of acceptance, authenticity and empathy. In doing so, we focus our attention on both the mind (e.g. talking to each other) and the body (e.g. exercising together).
