Imagine this: you are between the ages of 16 and 27 and are facing important decisions in your life. You would like to manage your affairs independently, but all the government information is quite difficult to understand. Then the Kwikstart app (and website) helps you as a young person or youth aid professional in a simple, accessible way with all kinds of practical information. For example, about living, work and money matters. Specifically about where you live.
Method of working mercury start
You easily download the Kwikstart app from the app store (Android / IOS) on your phone. After downloading, you have immediate access to all the information. Think of information about housing and, for example, obtaining a declaration of urgency. Or about how to properly arrange things for your work, money matters, school, insurance, health care and other, practical matters. And what rights you have when it comes to that. You can also create a handy checklist which immediately shows which steps you need to take and how far along you are.
If things are not going well for you or if you just want to talk to someone, you can (between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m.) contact the volunteers of the Everything Okay support line directly via the support button in the app.
