Everyone has the right to new opportunities and a positive spin, including vulnerable youngsters, forensic youth and (young) adults with a great distance to the labour market and society.
At foundation 180 we believe in customization and strengthening people’s ability to do and manage their own affairs. We develop practice and evidence-based programs that contribute to the integral support of people in self-reliance and social participation, from their own strength and with the use of their environment.
We think it is important to stay strongly connected to the target group. They are the link that ensures keeping our programs up to date. Our goal is to spread the programs as widely as possible so that the largest possible target group can benefit from the interventions that 180 has developed.
We connect the domains of education, (youth) care, labour and justice and share our knowledge in national and international partnerships. We do what we are strong at together with specialists from our chain partners.
Tops! and Work-Wise are programs of foundation 180.
Tops! The goal of TOPs! is to motivate youngsters and to learn to help each other and to learn positive behaviour from each other. The ultimate goal is that they take responsibility for their own thinking and acting. This strengthens their own strength, prevents or reduces behavioural problems, develops a positive value system and prepares them for their role as citizens.
On behalf of the Juvenile Correctional Institutions (JJI’s), foundation 180 manages the basic youturn methodology and
the use of behavioural interventions. In order to achieve optimal quality assurance, 180 offers support to the JJI’s that focus on material management, supporting user groups, registering use, issuing licences and manuals, promoting expertise of professionals, carrying out (process) evaluations, identifying bottlenecks and issuing advice. If necessary, it will make 180 adjustments to programs manuals or develop new ones based on the results of process evaluations or impact research and new scientific insights. The aforementioned activities 180 also carries out for the behavioural interventions Learning from Crime (intervention aimed at preventing youngsters who are in a JJI and have committed a (violent) crime from committing violent crimes again), Brains4Use (intervention for youngsters in (judicial) youth care aimed at reducing substance use) and Stapstenen 22 (intervention aimed at increasing resilience, capacity and motivation for trauma treatment of youngsters with complaints as a result of severe and chronic traumatization) and for the risk assessment instrument the SAVRY.
