Voksne for Barn

Voksne for Barn ("Adults for Children") is a non-profit membership organisation that has worked for 60 years to promote good mental health and safe, supportive childhood conditions for all children.

About the project

Voksne for Barn works to ensure that children are seen, listened to, and learned from – and that their voices are taken seriously. In doing so, the organisation helps build children’s resilience and emotional strength.

Working to improve children’s mental health means reducing stigma, exclusion, and bullying. It also involves something as fundamental and important as ensuring that all children receive the support they need to cope, grow, and face life’s challenges.

Through its partnership with Voksne for Barn, Kavli Trust has supported a wide range of conferences, lectures, and seminars aimed at providing support, sharing knowledge, and strengthening effective initiatives in the field of children’s and young people’s mental health.

With support from Kavli Trust, Voksne for Barn will now make the life skills programme “Passport” available to 4,500 children in schools across Norway.
