The quality mark
Short-term and goal-directed treatment, assessed anew by KiBG every year. You know in advance how we work and when we finish.
Short-term care quality mark
We hold the Keurmerk Kortdurende GGZ, the Dutch quality mark for short-term mental healthcare awarded by the KiBG foundation — and the additional recognition on top of it: the KeurmerkPlus.

The KeurmerkPlus
For practices that go a step further: we compare our outcomes with those of other practices and learn from them.
What we are assessed on
Assessed- Goals you set together with your therapist
- Treatment with a clear ending
- Measuring outcome and client experience
- Looking at your whole life, not just your symptoms
- eHealth and groups where they help
- Working together with GPs and the region
What does this mean in the consulting room?
Your therapist formulates a request for help and a treatment plan with achievable goals together with you, decides with you about method, eHealth and duration, and works from your strengths: building your resilience and skills. From the start it is clear that the course of treatment is bounded: an individual treatment with us consists of ten to twelve sessions, and we regularly evaluate whether the goals are being met.
What does this mean for the practice?
We give insight into our figures — client experiences (CQi), treatment effects (ROM), return to care, treatment duration and lead times — and reflect on them. Every year we formulate an improvement goal and implement at least one improvement. We are also required to be transparent on the website about how to reach us in an emergency, our therapists, inclusion and exclusion criteria, the structure of treatment, our methods, eHealth and our CQi grade.
What does this mean outside the practice?
We work regionally with GPs, mental health practice nurses, the social care system and other providers, know the services available in our region, and share knowledge every year within the KiBG network.
What exactly does the KeurmerkPlus stand for?
For 2026 it means: qualifying for all the standards of the Keurmerk Kortdurende GGZ, actively taking part in the benchmarking network (data in order and two benchmarking meetings), and submitting both the mandatory and the voluntary part of the self-evaluation.
Where can I check this?
Both recognitions are listed in the KiBG quality mark register and are passed on to the health insurers. The full standards can be found at kibg.nl.
