Inclusion Criteria

All children, aged 0-19 years, who visit the outpatient clinic of the Amphia hospital from June 2017 to February 2018, and suffer from the following problems are eligible for the study:
1. Somatic diseases which give rise to psychosocial problems
2. Psychosocial problems that are involved in the development and cure of disease
3. Somatic complaints that hide psychic problems
4. Problems in development
5. Threat of safety and health as a result of parental functioning
6. Reference because of psychic and social problems.
Prior to the consultation with the pediatrician, the children will be randomized to the intervention or control group. During the consultation, the pediatrician checks whether the child is eligible for inclusion in the study. If a child is eligible, the pediatrician explains the study and hands over an informed consent form. At the moment a parent of the child or the child itself (age 16 and over) has signed the informed consent, the child is included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Whenever a child suffers from serious psychiatric problems or (complex) medical problems which needs immediate intensive care, the child will not be included. There can be two forms of urgency:
1. Acute care because of an other form of specialized medical care.
2. Acute care which needs extra assistance from the social domain.
whenever above mentioned problems present themselves during the studie, the child will be excluded from the study.
