SOOS Initiative Unites Community to Combat Domestic Violence

SOOS held its first Welcome Event and Focus Group, bringing together key stakeholders and practitioners to explore present realities and necessary steps forward in tackling domestic violence and its impact on youth. The event marked a pivotal first step in SOOS’ work to formulate a structured support framework for youth workers and young people to become agents in mitigating the effects of domestic violence.  

The event was attended by representatives of organisations and institutions with long-standing experience and expertise who contributed to its processes by sharing their insights and suggestions. The participants delved into the current state of affairs and key challenges observed, emphasising the necessity to build collaborative processes and elevate community engagement to create comprehensive support systems for young people affected by domestic violence. 

The SOOS project is dedicated to raising awareness about the risks associated with experiencing domestic violence and its potential effects on the physical, emotional, and psychological health of youth. By highlighting these risks and offering valuable resources and support, the SOOS project seeks to educate the public on preventative measures and ultimately reduce the prevalence of domestic violence in our society.
