Since its inception, the Dutch Rudolph
Foundation has been committed to caring for
children in a family and in a village
community. In 1914, Reverend Rudolph started
taking care of guardian children from the
cities in the countryside. His work grew
into the Rudolph Foundation and Youth

|
|
The Dutch ARQ National Psychotrauma Center provides care for adults and
children with complex psychotrauma complaints through screening, diagnosis
and treatment. |
|
"Two therapists have decorated the DollsVilla with enthusiasm and pleasure,
with the furniture, cuddly toys, toy animals, cars and a train [on the
ramp]. In the course of the day our patients came and one of these
therapists said: "The dollhouse is a BIG success! The children who came
today really liked it (their mothers too, by the way). So nice to see them
enjoying it." -
Cri-cri Gouw, manager ARQ Centrum '45 Child and
Family ambulatory. |
|
“The DollsVilla not only looks great in our
waiting room. Played super nicely this week,
stretched out on the stomach and on the
knees with a three-year-old girl and her
parents. What a joy 🤸🤸🤸
Girl blooms with
her parents, sister and brother from
experiences like this....... playing
together with parents in a relaxed setting,
while experiencing so much stress for years.
I wish them very much that they can continue
this in the AZC when family admission is
over.” -

remedial educationalist ARQ. |

CHILD REHABILITATION WITH DOLLSVILLA |
|
In collaboration with various hospitals,
Revalidation Friesland provides clinical and
outpatient rehabilitation at ten locations.
At the Lyndenstein location in the
municipality of Opsterland, revalidating
children can play from tomorrow and at the
same time perform movement exercises with
the DollsVilla. |
|
Rehabilitation Friesland rehabilitates
children who need medical specialist
rehabilitation, because they are limited in
their daily functioning and are inhibited in
their development. This takes place in
Friesland at two locations. In Beetsterzwaag
there is a clinic for children up to ± 18
years and a large outpatient clinic. In
addition, there is a Therapeutic toddler
group [TPG], where children aged 1˝ to 4
years come for two half-days and are treated
in a playful way for an entire morning.
Leeuwarden also has an outpatient department
for children, where young children are
treated four days a week. |
|
In the care of children with [temporary and/or multiple]
disabilities, the gender-neutral DollsVilla
supports, among other things, the work of
orthopedagogues, rehabilitation experts,
speech therapists, physiotherapists and
occupational therapists. The mobile villa at
child height and the handy size of the
furniture are therefore suitable for play by
children with less refined motor skills. |

Lyndenstein [1821] was designed by Abraham
Bruinsmain. In 1905 the house was given the
following objective: 'The free admission of
sick, disabled or needy minor children.'
From 1915 it functioned as a children's
sanatorium for young tuberculosis patients.
In 1958 it was decided to convert the
children's hospital into a rehabilitation
center for children. In 1962, the
Lyndensteyn School was also opened, a tyltyl
school for special and secondary special
education for children aged 4-21 who are
multiple disabled and a mytyl school for
children with a physical disability or who
are long-term ill. |

DOLLSVILLA - RESEARCH AND THERAPEUTIC |
USE FOR THE BENEFIT OF
CHILDREN WITH |
TRAUMA IN KRAKÓW POLAND |
|
"I represent the Association of Children's Psychotherapists Donald
Winicott from Kraków, Poland. We are psychotherapists working with children.
We support children after trauma, currently also after war trauma in Ukraine." |
|
"We run therapeutic camps for parents with young children and work to develop
psychotherapy for children in Poland. As part of these activities, we have
created a scientific and preventive project under which we will examine
children using a house. When I saw your dollhouse, I thought it was perfect
for this purpose. I would love to buy it and that's why I am writing to ask
if shipping to Poland is possible." |
|
"Our research focus is on mother-child bonds
among mothers after deprivation. I
would also like to study the effectiveness
of psychodynamic psychotherapy in children." |

DOLLSVILLA'S
AND CHILDREN'S MENTAL |
HEALTH |
|
Three DollsVilla's left today for the outpatient treatment centers of GGZ
Westelijk Noord-Brabant in the Netherlands [Dutch centers for mental health
care]. In the two play/treatment rooms in Bergen op Zoom and Roosendaal,
they will support the work of psycho- and play therapists, healthcare and
clinical psychologists. For young children. |
|
A DollsVilla
will also try to show its value in the intensive part-time treatment. 'Part-time'
means that the children live at home, attend their own school and receive
treatment at GGZ WNB two days a week [during school hours]. |
|
The children
may have developmental problems and/or psychiatric problems that get stuck
in several areas [home, school, free time]. Parents follow parent-child
therapy and system therapy at the location of the part-time treatment. |

SLINGELAND
HOSPITAL PEDIATRICS |
|
|
And now it is the turn of the Doetinchem
hospital Slingeland to use the DollsVilla
for its work in paediatrics! |
|
The DollsVilla on wheels, with foot brakes,
can be easily moved from the pediatric ward to the outpatient clinic and to
the playroom and even to a child's hospital room! Thanks to the height, the
child can play with the villa from bed. |

RENEWED EXPORT
DOLLSVILLA TO |
|
SCANDINAVIA |
|
After the
world was locked down for a long time,
preparations have now started for a renewed
export push from the DollsVilla to Sweden,
Denmark, Finland and Norway. |
|
As a result of
trade missions in 2002 and 2010, the Danish
school suppliers Leika and Legeakademiet
started selling the DollsVilla to nurseries
and schools. The Astrid Lindgren's
Children's Hospital Stockholm was the first
hospital in the world to purchase a
DollsVilla for professional therapy support
for sick children. |
|
The Astrid
Lindgrens Children's Hospital: "Seriously sick
children, we observed, do not look at other
people, but usually at the floor. For many
years we had been looking for something that
could stimulate contact between children.
The Dutch DollsVilla by Liliane® is exactly
what we needed." |
