With over 20 shootings in Eskilstuna so far this year, it has been extra important to have safe adults out who can meet the anxiety that many young people feel.
- There is a concern that we notice.
They can say that they are worried and that they want to talk to an adult, says Cecilia Törngren Gonzalez.
Shall prevent crime
Employees from "Trygga Unga" operate both within schools and outside in priority areas in order to prevent young people from falling into crime more quickly.
It is not the first time that preventive work has been invested in Eskilstuna, what is there to say that this will be successful?
- I think that all preventive work is successful.
Now we have taken a big bet on this and I believe in it.
You have to have a little patience and remember that these are complex issues, says Cecilia Palm, coordinator of "Trygga Unga".
