Primary prevention – investment for safety, health and well-being of children, adolescents, adolescents and adults The experience of violence and sexual abuse is also a reality in Slovenia for some children, adolescents and adolescents. The consequences of violence and abuse have a negative impact on children’s physical and psychological well-being, physical and mental health. These consequences can very roughly “interfere” with their personal development, interpersonal relationships, opportunities for schooling, creation, carefree play. Primary prevention is one of the key factors for protecting children, adolescents and adolescents from various forms of violence and abuse. Preventive activities strengthen the protective factors of children, adolescents and adolescents. It is important to start already in the preschool period and ensure repetitions, upgrading knowledge and skills.

More than 12 percent of children in the United States—nine million children—live in homes where a parent or other adult uses illegal drugs. The impact on these children can be devastating. They are three times more likely than children in drug-free environments to be verbally, physically, or sexually abused and four times more likely to be neglected. It is hard to find these kids—and harder still to protect them. Fortunately, organizations like the National Alliance for Drug Endangered Children (National DEC) and their affiliated state, local, and tribal DEC alliances continue to make great strides in establishing training and resources that help law enforcement, social workers, teachers, community groups, and others identify and assist children growing up in these tragic circumstances. National DEC regularly demonstrates that we can provide a powerfully visible alternative to the neglect and violence that are part of the daily lives of far too many children. We can intervene more effectively to help mitigate the long-term negative effects children face when they are exposed to this kind of trauma. Using trauma-informed approaches to respond to children who are endangered by drugs is increasingly becoming a central part of law enforcement’s mission to serve and protect. This new edition of Promising Practices for Helping Drug Endangered Children: Paths to a Common Vision (originally published in 2014) highlights resources National DEC has developed to facilitate the establishment of state, local, and tribal alliances; it also gives examples of how many agencies are consistently using those resources to carry out the organization’s three-part mission and make a difference in children’s lives. It can help you and your agency collaborate with others in your community to make identifying and serving these children part of your daily routine. Every child deserves to grow up in a home free from abuse and neglect. Together, we can make that a reality.

New resource developed at the Safer Young Lives Research Centre. The comic, ‘Seeing things from both sides: A comic to help young people and professionals understand each other’s views about young survivors’ participation in efforts to address child sexual abuse and exploitation’, is based on an international research study exploring the outcomes associated with the participation of children and young people affected by child sexual abuse and exploitation. The study involved 58 expert panel members from 18 countries. The panel included young people with lived experience of child sexual abuse and exploitation and a range of adult professionals who work in this field. We found there was general agreement on the potential benefits of young survivors informing and influencing decision-making, but that there were also concerns, and differences of opinion, about the potential risks and tensions of involving young survivors in different activities and initiatives. Based on these findings, they are developing a range of outputs including this comic. The comic shares the differing perspectives of young people and professionals surrounding four specific themes that were identified as particularly complex. We hope that through the comic, we can show that a consideration of different views can help to support opportunities for safe and meaningful participation for young survivors.
