You really have to be confident and self-assured if you can handle all that with ease. Sometimes it\u2019s hard to cope, and you need a little help. That\u2019s why a tool has been developed to help young people find their way when they need a little support.     <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In collaboration with the Eye Association<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OOG in OOG Association is committed to advocating for the interests of our members and our target audience and collaborates extensively with the Oogvereniging. This much larger association for people with eye conditions in general has an extensive network. The collaboration is going very well. Both partners have contributed to the tool\u2019s content. The Oogvereniging also handled the layout and the technical aspects of the project.      <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An Overview of the Tool&#8217;s Features<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychosocialezorg.info\/kinderen\/rotgevoelens-door-mijn-ogen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The tool is <\/a>actually a website that provides a lot of explanations and directs you to other resources. First, it explains the difference between physical symptoms, emotional symptoms, and social problems that can arise from a condition affecting your eye or eyes. For physical symptoms, you need to see a doctor, go to the hospital, see an ophthalmologist, or consult an ocularist. But where should you go for emotional symptoms and social problems? That\u2019s exactly where this tool aims to help teenagers.      <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feeling sad or angry for no reason, being bullied at school, not being able to get along with friends the way you used to, not being able to play the same sport or do other things. How does this affect your daily life? It\u2019s important to figure out when you can handle this on your own. Sometimes your family or friends can help you. Or a teacher at school. But sometimes you need professional help. What kinds of professionals are there, and which one do you need? And who decides what kind of help you need? These are all questions that the \u201cGrowing Up\u201d tool helps children find answers to. When we talk about growing children, we\u2019re referring to those aged 10 to 18, with parents providing assistance for the youngest ones if needed.         <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first version of the tool was presented to growing children, their parents, an ophthalmologist, and a child psychologist. Their feedback was incorporated into the final version. For example, we hadn\u2019t thought of including illustrations, and at first it was just a jumble of letters and words. Finding the right tone was also quite difficult.     <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check out the tools<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the online tool <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychosocialezorg.info\/volwassenen\/emotionele-en-sociale-gevolgen-van-een-oogaandoening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cEmotional and Social Impact of an Eye Condition for Adults<\/a> \u201d or the tool <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychosocialezorg.info\/kinderen\/rotgevoelens-door-mijn-ogen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u201cHow I Feel Through My Eyes\u201d for children<\/a>.

Within our organization, OOG in OOG, and among a much larger population, there are also teenagers who have a condition affecting one or both eyes and find that growing up is even harder than it is for other kids. They have to navigate a medical journey that we\u2019re all familiar with: ophthalmologists, hospitals, nurses, ocularists, and so on.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6431,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_daextauttol_enable_tooltips":""},"library_cat":[117,119],"class_list":["post-6429","library_pt","type-library_pt","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","library_cat-children-and-youth","library_cat-mental-and-social-challenges"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_pt\/6429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_pt"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/library_pt"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"library_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ver-ooginoog.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_cat?post=6429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
