Since 2010, Anne Daniel-Karlsen has conducted several courses for child protection specialists, youth workers, teachers, social workers, police and victim support workers, and others on the topic of “Domestic violence through the eyes of a child”, highlighting the impact of the intimate partner violence on a child.
The first book on violence against children in Estonia, “A story about a small oak tree, anger and a crow”, has been published in Estonia in 2015, in cooperation with Juhan Püttsepp and Jarõna Ilo. This book, accompanied by a dedicated methodological material, has been published and introduced to 12 schools and kindergartens across Estonia.
The aim is to create a competence centre unit operating in the Tartu Milieu Therapy Centre, which will provide training and counselling for specialists working with children in the target group, parents of the target group and other interested parties. It is possible to choose from the courses conducted as well as to order the training based on the needs, interests and specifics of the institution. Milieu therapy is only applicable in the context of a milieu therapy centre. However, the therapeutic approach offers help in working with children in different child care institutions; to various professionals working with children, as well as to parents. In addition to the parents of the children of the Tartu Milieu Therapy Centre, several other Estonian institutions have visited or participated in trainings to get acquainted with the content and the organization of the milieu therapy work. These include Jaanikese and Urvaste School, Maria Children NGO, Kõpu Youth Home, SOS Children’s Village Orphanage and others.
Counselling is provided by a child psychiatrist, other team members are involved, if necessary. Counselling takes place once a week by appointment, the duration of which depends on the specific case (two hours on average). It is possible for everyone to participate in counselling on a first-come-first-served basis.
