Karakter is an academic center for child and adolescent psychiatry with locations across Gelderland, Overijssel, Noord-Brabant and Limburg, serving children and youths from every Dutch municipality. It conducts diagnostic assessments and provides treatment for ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, behavioral disorders, psychosis, and other psychiatric conditions. Treatments are tailored to each child’s needs and may involve individual or group therapy, with or without parental involvement, and can include online care; medications may be prescribed and temporary inpatient care is available when necessary. For complex cases, Karakter delivers comprehensive care, while simpler concerns may be addressed by partner care providers. The organization emphasizes scientific research and knowledge development, translating new insights into practice, and is based in Ede, Gelderland, with a network of locations across the Netherlands; a recent development noted in November 2023 involved digitising the new-client registration process in collaboration with Amaron.
