Trondheim Crisis Centre

Information for women

In Norway, one out of four women has experienced some form of violence or threats of violence. Men and women experience violence from a partner to an equal extent. Women, however, experience the most serious and long-lasting violence.

Information for men

Men also sometimes experience violence in their close personal relationships, be it by a girlfriend, a partner or a family member. The violence that they experience can be mental or emotional violence, threats, physical violence and/or materialistic violence.

Information for children and youth

Violence can have serious consequences for children’s development, not only when it comes to their neurological, cognitive and emotional development, but also when it comes to their mental health.

Information for the elderly

Violence against the elderly in close personal relations affects both genders and occurs in all social strata of society. Violence against the elderly not only takes the form of physical violence, but also the form of psychological violence or threats.

LGBT-related information

Research indicates LGBT persons, especially, as being persons exposed to violence in close personal relationships, amongst other things, including violence from partners or their own family. Many LGBT persons experience rejection, being cast aside or subjection to physical violence from a partner or their own family. Trondheim Crisis Centre is an offering for anyone exposed to violence in his/her close personal relations, regardless of his/her gender identity.
