THINK: Nina Rung – How violence can be prevented and stopped
The second THINK lecture of the autumn with Nina Rung is aimed at parents, those active in community organizations, professionals working with children and youth, and anyone interested in learning more about violence and how it can be prevented. During the lecture, Nina will describe how signs of exposure to violence can be recognized in children, young people, and adults, how violence manifests, what vulnerability looks like among youth, and most importantly - what we can all do to make it easier to start the conversation at home and at work.
Together, we can both prevent and stop vulnerability. The more we understand what violence in close relationships looks like and why it arises, the easier it becomes to act. Welcome to an essential evening!
