Support Course for Relatives: How to Be There for People Exposed to Violence
Hilde Hjelm and Maria Salas
Many people feel trapped in violent relationships and for various reasons cannot or do not want to leave. It's not uncommon to return to a violent partner or end up in new violent relationships.
It can be extremely challenging to be close to someone experiencing physical, psychological, or other forms of violence. However, we know that having a strong network is one of the best protections against violence. Maria from Alternative to Violence and Hilde from the Crisis Center offer a course for anyone wanting to support people living with violence. This could be family members, friends, colleagues, or others in your social circle.
The course is also suitable for those who may encounter victims of violence in their work.
