Discover Familiehulp podcasts

Together with talented midwife Evy De Bock, the brilliant mind behind the popular podcast “Buikgewoel”, we dive into the wonderful world of maternity care. We have assembled a great panel which includes Katrijn Degens, partner in care policy for more than 20 years, and Ellen Wittock, experienced maternity nurse at Familiehulp. They talk enthusiastically about maternity, the cooperation between maternity nurses and midwives and what this care means for young families. Imagine, as a young mum, being able to enjoy a hot shower undisturbed for once while baby is cared for and kept safe by our maternity nurses. Luxury or necessity?

In this engaging podcast, renowned psychiatrist and author Dirk De Wachter discusses why the simple and everyday moments in care are invaluable. He explores the importance of connection and caring in our work together with leading carer in mental vulnerability Hilde, and Familiehulp client Sonia.

In this podcast, we talk about the valuable experiences of Heidi, a home help paid via service vouchers with Familiehulp for 20 years. We shed light on her daily tasks, as well as the profound impact she has on her clients' lives. Meet mum Melanie (and little Marie) and Jos, Heidi's first customer. And find out just how important Heidi is to them.

Sooner or later, we all have to deal the loss of someone dear to us. The corresponding grieving process is often complex and manifests itself in a range of different emotions such as sadness, anger, guilt or fear. Talking about it is one of the things that help. We do just that in this podcast, with none other than clinical psychologist and grief expert Manu Keirse and Maud Vanwalleghem, mum of Hector. Hector was diagnosed with a metabolic disease and fought hard for his life for a month. In the end, however, the medical profession could not offer him a good quality of life.

Have you ever wondered how things work in our cosy, small-scale NOAH daycare homes? FH reporter Kathleen Frits headed to NOAH Sint-Niklaas to create an engaging podcast with customer Simonne. We hope you enjoy listening!

In our second podcast "The trains run outside", colleague Kathleen Frits visits Georges, a proud 91-year-old man who has been Godelieve's loving partner for more than 60 years. He is also godfather to Saartje, a leading dementia carer at Familiehulp. Georges also has dementia, a disease that affects more than 190,000 people in Belgium today.

When home worker Marina Moens retired last year, she decided to write a book: “Als deuren opengaan” (When doors open). In it, she talks about her experiences as a home help, her contacts with clients, and the corresponding emotions and feelings. In short, the book is all about her life at Familiehulp. Discover these fascinating stories with us in our first podcast "When doors open".
