Independent advice from client advocate
Arranging good Health and support is not always easy. Are you at a loss as to where to turn with your request for help? Then it is nice if someone looks with you and thinks with you in the field of Health and support, youth aid, participation, education, welfare, housing or work and income. Such a person is an independent client supporter, also known as an OCO. An OCO stands beside you, thinks about which Health, help or resources are right for you and can, for example, accompany you to meetings. The OCO is independent and is really there for you. In other words, not connected to a municipality or other care organization.
How does it work?
An OCO helps you as a resident with your request for help. An OCO thinks along with you in solutions and asks good questions. The support is short-term and involves working toward a solution or answer to your question. Whether you have questions about Health, money matters, housing, work or something going on in your family. An OCO also helps when you are dissatisfied with the Health you are receiving or when you disagree with a decision made by, for example, a health care organization or the municipality.
For example, an OCO can:
- Discussing your question with you, getting everything together.
- Helping you make your own choices.
- Thinking along and looking for opportunities.
- Provide information on pathways to help, Health and resources.
- Going along to meetings with, for example, municipality, care provider or care office. Here the OCO helps by asking questions.
- Assist in making an application.
What to do.
You can contact the independent client supporters in the municipality of Son en Breugel. You do not need a referral or indication to use an OCO. The OCOs help residents of all ages with a request for help.
What does it cost?
You do not have to pay for the client support worker; the support is free for residents. You decide if you want to use an OCO.
