The CARe Model
The CARe Model is a key methodology which is used in mental health care, homeless care, and disability care, both in The Netherlands and other countries. It is based on principles of relational care. In our research group, we study its applications through practice-based and literature research. This way, we gather evidence and support practitioners in working both evidence-based and evidence-informed.
Objective
The aim is to investigate the applications of the methodology and to further develop or refine them.
Results
The CARe Model is used by tens of thousands of professionals. With our research and publications we support these professionals and thus the quality of care and service provision.
