Apojo VZW
Apojo offers support of various kinds to people with a disability: from housing support to the implementation of a meaningful daytime activity and personal guidance at home. We make the lives of people with disabilities easier.
The Housing department offers housing support to people who cannot live independently. You can live in our residential houses or our studio projects, permanently or temporarily. Temporarily is possible when your network is unable to absorb your support for a short period of time. Together with you, we will find out which housing project suits you best.

Project Zelfverwonding
Recent research shows that in Flanders 15% of young people intentionally injure themselves, such as scratching, cutting, burning, ... Self-injury is an important precursor of suicidality and depression. Early specialized treatment of self-injury is therefore essential. Unfortunately, these young people in Flanders often have nowhere to go, and they often end up in psychiatry.
In the context of an interuniversity scientific research with KU Leuven and Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Prof. dr. Imke Baetens has developed a specialized outpatient psychotherapeutic treatment for young people who intentionally self-injure. In November 2015, 45 therapists will be trained in this treatment, and thanks to this project we will be able to offer 300 Flemish youngsters a tailor-made treatment.
