Waiting time
Unfortunately, you will need to take the waiting time into account. If you want to know the actual waiting time, you can look here.
The registration procedure is simple to complete in a few steps
- First discuss your struggles with your own GP. If care from Apanta is indicated, the GP will give you a referral letter that we will need to receive for the registration process. Send this letter to us.
- Fill in the personal details on the online registration form via our website and indicate as extensively and clearly as possible what the symptoms are. The content of the application will be assessed when the referral letter has been received by us and the online form has been completed and submitted. Applications that are complete are screened twice a week. If we are in any doubt as to whether the application fits within Apanta, we will contact you or the referrer as soon as possible for a consultation.
In the event of an emergency, the referrer - in most cases the General Practitioner - remains your point of contact.
Please note that filling out the registration form takes 30-60 minutes
To fill in the registration form, it is useful if you have the following information at hand:
- ID, Passport or Driver's License
- Dutch BSN Number
- Contact details of your GP
- Details of your health insurance provider
General Delivery of Care Conditions Mental Health Service
Apanta works according to the general delivery of care conditions for mental healthcare Act 2017, this for all clients who registered after March 1, 2017. These have been drawn up by GGZ Nederland in collaboration with the Landelijk Platform GGZ and the Consumer Care Authority. You can download the conditions here (in Dutch).
Your Private information
The information you enter on the registration form will be stored in a secure file, including any referral letter you send us. Even when the registration and/or treatment ends. If you do not want this (anymore), you can contact us with a request to delete your file. We treat your data confidentially, read more about privacy here.
NEW OFFER: Online bi-lingual treatment (short-term, first line help)
From September 2023, for clients aged 18 and older, it will be possible (in certain cases) to register for interest & eligibility for a fully online treatment course. In the application form please simply state whether you are open to online treatment. If you show willing, we will check during the online screening process, whether you are eligible with regards to your particular help request. A shorter waiting time applies for this complete online treatment option.
If you have already been placed upon our waiting list and are deemed suitable for the quicker, short trajectory, we will contact you personally to offer you this new option.
Currently we only provide basic mental health care
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are currently unable to provide specialised mental health services for our international clients before January 2024. As of January 2024 a limited service will once more be available.
We do however currently provide general mental health care (in Dutch that is “generalistische basis GGZ"), for nonnative Dutch speakers which can be described as short-term treatment for clients with mild to moderate mental health issues.
Currently it is not possible to register for diagnostic investigation
Unfortunately it is not currently possible for us to carry out diagnostic investigations.
Waiting time
We appreciate that it was maybe a big step to sign up for help. Unfortunately we cannot avoid having to work with waiting lists.
Give yourself a headstart!
During the waiting period you may already begin with our online self-help modules. These are completely free and can be followed whenever you want via the Minddistrict platform.
