SPECIAL EDITION OF 3 WEBINARS ORGANIZED BY LINKÖPING UNIVERSITY

Webinar 2: Children´s rights to participate, play and develop at women´s shelters

In our second webinar we will introduce the two puzzle pieces: Participation and information and play and activity. The main objective of this webinar is to discuss and to learn more about a form called Good dialogues, to learn how to talk to children about information and support, and how this can be incorporated at women’s shelters. Along with play and activity as an important tool for children´s recovery and wellbeing. 

Speakers:

Lisa Ekström, Volunteer coordinator, Save the Children Sweden

She has a master's degree in Sociology and has worked at Save the Children for eleven years. Her primary focus is on Save the Children's membership movement and their ability to meet the needs of children in local community through volunteer work.

Åsa Lundskog Mattsson, Senior Technical Advisor, Children´s welfare foundation Sweden

She has a sociology degree at Stockholm University and authorized sociologist after several years in social services (child and family) and with social prevention work.

Every year, thousands of children stay at least one night at women’s shelters in Sweden with their guardian. At shelters, the violence stops, but as a child to have witnessed or they themselves been exposed to violence can lead to trauma later in life. A safe environment with healthy relationships with adults that understand the consequences of abuse may be a support for the child´s recovery.

In three webinars you will get insights in a project called AVEC where the model PUZZLE will be presented. The model seeks to improve protection and support for children at women´s shelters. To increase children´s mental well-being during and after their stay at shelters. This is done through five educational packages (the puzzle pieces).

There will be another session of this webinar series, you can sign up below:

Hi, my name is Anne Galbraith, I am a social worker from Australia. I work with children who have experienced family violence through a therapeutic garden program. I was able to attend the first 'After violence' seminar and the first half of the second and would love to hear the remaining half of the seminar. Could you let me know if the recording is available please. All the best, Anne
