Almost everybody knows a child who suffers emotional and psychological abuse from their parents. Do you feel powerless? We show You how you can help! Come to our  second open lecture and share your experiences.

OPEN LECTURE ON 1.2.2023 at 6 PM, BRIGHTER LIFE CENTER, Bratislava.

Emotional and Psychological abuse is the most prevalent but least documented form of child abuse.

The dark figure of children who got harmed by such maltreatment is very high. However these children don’t receive the appropriate help from the Slovak legal system, especially in cases of separating parents.

In this workshop we talk about various forms of emotional and psychological abuse and their devastating impact on children’s psychological health.We introduce our newly founded organisation ‘EPAO’ and our activities to make a difference in Slovakia. We show different ways how each of us can help when a child is getting abused.

EPAO is a politically independent and non denominational, independent non-profit organization.
