Wellbeing: Peace of mind starts with talking
Sometimes you don't feel good. You may have problems at school, at home, or with friends. Or you have to make a difficult choice and don’t know what to do. It helps when someone listens to you and thinks along with you. The municipality of Aalsmeer is happy to help. There are different places where you can get support or have a good conversation.
Gro-up Buurtwerk Aalsmeer
Youth workers of gro-up offer help, a listening ear, and advice. You can talk about things like divorce, problems at home, sad thoughts, money issues, and much more. No question is too strange.
