History

Jade Zorggroep was established after the collapse of Jeugdzorg Drenthe, in 2001. As an independent organization, Jade Zorggroep continued the path that Jeugdzorg Drenthe organization had started in the area of care and management of unaccompanied minors (amv). This is a very specific target audience with superior needs and guidance, Jade Zorggroep has formed its business focusing on the customized needs, the development and situation of each individual of these young children.
Jade Zorggroep believes that everyone is entitled to a place in society. Jade Zorggroep wants to provide aid especially those who have difficulty finding their place in society, so that they can learn how to participate.

The group of amv were not the only vulnerable group of refuged children who could benefit from Jade Zorggroep. Within the target amv, suspected victims of human trafficking were identified as one of the important audiences. In cooperation with Nidos, Jade Zorggroep launched a test model for a protected shelter (BO), specifically for amv with special needs. The pilot was successful and the BO was recognized as a modality shelter for amv.

Finding suitable locations for teaching the compulsory school for amv with additional guidance proved to be a challenge. Study environments that could offer the same protected conditions that what were provided from the BO did not exist. For that reason, Jade Zorggroep had decided to develop their own educational program and to organize their own school. Jade Zorggroep’s school is not only available to children from the BO, but also to young people outside of the BO who have difficulties finding a suitable education program. Due to the high demand, Jade Zorggroep opened additional schools to fulfill the educational needs of all the underage aliens.

In the same period, Jade Zorggroep offered their supervision and support to adult victims of human trafficking by providing them a temporary shelter (TOSM). Due to the constant demand, the temporary shelter was soon become a definitive shelter for adult victims of human trafficking (COSM).
Beside the refugee section, Jade Zorggroep has authorized an admission WTZi in 2008, in according to the law in Health Insurance Act, long-term care and WMO. Another sector of Jade Zorggroep ‘Zorg’ was established after acquiring this admission in 2009. Jade Zorggroep began to offer support to people with (slight) intellectual disabilities.
This target group correspond with the ideas of Jade Zorggroep Care.
In 2014, due to the revision in laws and regulations, Jade Zorggroep was no longer allowed to run this sector.
In 2015, with support from the residents and staff, the Zorg sector was transferred to another organization.

The meaning behind the name of Jade Zorggroep

A Jade is a green or blue gemstone that symbolizes purity, justice, harmony and serenity. The stone symbolizes wisdom gathered within tranquility; a stone that is seen as a protective crystal and it keeps everyone out of danger. Jade promotes love and care, stabilizes the personality and promotes self-reliance. It is as an auspicious stone which dispels negative feelings, stimulates ideas and makes tasks appear to be less complicated. This (dream)stone encourages people to be who you are and help to reveal your hidden knowledge and talents. The essence of the stone was the main reason behind naming Jade Zorggroep. The stone perfectly reflects Jade Zorggroep as an organization, who Jade Zorggroep wants to be and where Jade Zorggroep stands for. The colors of these stone can be found in the logo of Jade Zorggroep.
