Mandatory Mental Healthcare Act (Wvggz)

The Mandatory Mental Healthcare Act (Wvggz) provides for the rights and obligations of people who need but do not want mental health care. However, care should be provided voluntarily wherever possible. Only if there really is no other way will a decision be made on the need for mandatory mental health care. The care is provided at home or a care institution.

Are you concerned about someone?

Does that person perhaps need (mandatory) mental health care? If so, report the matter to us. You can also do this anonymously. Call 14 058 and say that you want to make a Wvggz report. You will be called back by someone from the City of Leeuwarden.
