The MGGZ has approximately 130 employees spread across 4 regional centers, a psychiatric clinic, and an expertise center. The staff of the MGGZ is housed in Utrecht; the regional centers are located in Utrecht, Zwolle, Amsterdam, and Den Bosch. The emphasis within the MGGZ lies on outpatient activities, day treatments, and short-term admissions. Furthermore, the MGGZ plays an important role in both preparation for deployments and in care during and after deployments, both in a curative and preventive sense.
