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.
Trondheim Crisis Centre is a place where a child can experience safety. During its stay at the Centre, it is important that a child have the chance to maintain daily routines, like school, kindergarten and leisure-time activities.
Trondheim Crisis Centre has employees who bear pedagogical responsibility for the children there. A child at the Centre receives its own primary contact person. The Centre also arranges weekly activities in which a child can participate.
A short introduction video about a crisis centre
Do I myself experience violence?
Do you find that someone close to you makes you feel afraid, speaks condescendingly to you, is threating, is controlling or wants you to do things that you yourself do not want to do? Are you pushed, is your hair pulled, are you kicked or are things thrown at you? It can be very difficult to talk to others about what one experiences. There are many kinds of violence and not all violence is visible.
Do you feel ashamed or guilty? Be aware that this is a normal consequence of exposure to violence. The person who bears responsibility for violence is always the person who perpetrates it against another.
You can contact us even if you are uncertain as to whether or not you experience violence. You can also choose to remain anonymous in your contact with us.
