Wrap up 2025

PsyGlobal Results 2025

In the first (work) week of 2026, we would like to take a moment to look back on the year behind us. 2025 was a positive year for PsyGlobal, during which we were once again able to connect many mental health professionals from diverse backgrounds to Dutch organizations. We matched over 100 professionals with Dutch organizations, helping 42 Ukrainian professionals find positions in mental health institutions, general practitioner practices, municipalities, shelters, and public health services (GGDs). In addition to Ukrainian professionals, we also helped 13 professionals of other nationalities secure positions in the Netherlands this year, including Turkish-, Farsi-, Arabic-, Polish-, and Spanish-speaking psychologists.

But we did more than that:

👉 We received accreditation from the VGCt voor onze 100-urige Engelstalige CBT basic course. for our 100-hour English-language CBT basic course. This training started in early December, led by Thomas Kramer.
We completed the first fully European-accredited English-language EMDR training in the Netherlands in February, in collaboration with Mindsync EMDR Training
We organized a CBT Fundamentals training, two trainings on the use of DSM-5, and two trainings on positive psychology.
Finally, in collaboration with Radboud en Wageningen in’to Languages, we organized a 16-week intensive Dutch language course for nearly 60 Ukrainian professionals, with a focus on language in the psychological field.

👉 Our database has now crossed the milestone of 1,000 mental health professionals, and we continue to receive daily applications from professionals from all over the world.

👉 In October, we organized the networking event “Strengthening the Chain” at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, where we, together with representatives from Dutch organizations, explored how to further strengthen the care chain for Ukrainian displaced persons with mental health issues.
And in November, we held our first event for all non-Dutch-speaking mental health professionals, engaging with over 100 participants about the challenges—and especially the opportunities—in the Dutch mental health field.

In the coming year, we will continue working tirelessly on our mission to guide even more talent toward positions where they can provide care to clients who share their language and cultural background. With plenty of vacancies and an even broader training offer, this is definitely going to happen. Here’s to many more milestones in 2026!
