Cooperation between organizations is a good way to develop, exchange and adapt knowledge, skills and activities. This is certainly true for the expertise centres operating in the Netherlands in the field of psychiatric health care.

At the beginning of 2002 the ministry of health appointed Accare to be the leader of the National Expertise Centre for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, a project that support until 2007. The Knowlegde Centre will be continued as a network organisation as of 2009, with the support of several major child-psychiatric institutions in the Netherlands.
