Mikado is the Dutch national centre of expertise on intercultural healthcare: from social work to elderly care, and from youth work to somatic or mental health care. We stand for accessible care, available to everyone regardless of ethnicity or cultural background.
Knowledge and information
Mikado pools existing knowledge, experience and expertise on migration issues, intercultural (health) care and transcultural psychiatry. We spread information, offer expert advice, initiate research, and encourage knowledge exchange and collaboration. Via our website, conferences, master classes, publications and periodicals, we provide accessible sources of information to a wide range of professionals. These include doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, (health) care managers, students, researchers, and policy makers.
Working together
Mikado collaborates closely with individuals as well as organisations. In doing so, we frequently employ our extensive national network of specialists on interculturalisation. We are also in contact with scholars and interculturalisation experts abroad. In both the Netherlands and abroad, different disciplines in the care sector have developed intercultural treatment protocols, preventive interventions and interculturalisation tools. Experience taught us that similar knowledge and experiences are available in different places at the same time. By working together and sharing knowledge we don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
Real solutions
Mikado offers concrete solutions based on years of experience with interculuralisation and practical experiences. Information aimed at results; practical knowledge that can be put to use by individual care professionals as well as staff and management.
