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 Village De Glind.

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.” - Heleen Koppelaar, GZ psychologist and 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.

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."
