Nederland is ontstaan uit een aantal regio’s met een eigen identiteit. Met de negentiendeeeuwse natievorming is het accent verschoven naar wat ons op landelijk niveau bindt, maar recent wint de regio weer aan belangstelling.

In deze publicatie beschrijven we wie er informele hulp geven. Het betreft dan mantelzorgers, mensen die elkaar bij de start van de hulp al ken...

De hulpverlening aan ouderen en mensen met beperkingen staat aan de vooravond van grote veranderingen. Mensen die hulp nodig hebben zullen meer beroep moeten doen op personen uit hun omgeving.
