“You are not alone!” – meeting with a lawyer

You are not alone! Psychological first aid for children and young people

Together, we create a space where no one is left alone

On September 10, 2025, after the summer break, another meeting in a series of workshops for staff working at Przestrzenie Młodych (Youth Spaces) in Lublin took place.
This time, the main theme was a meeting with a lawyer, organized as part of the Lublin City Civic Budget project “You are not alone – psychological first aid for children and young people.”
The workshop was led by specialists from the Crisis Intervention Center in Lublin, namely:

1. Edyta Król – project coordinator and manager DWK
2. Małgorzata Kędracka -Kręt – Legal Advisor to the National Electoral Commission, who discussed key legal issues related to working with children and young people, including.:

• the obligation to report suspected abuse of a minor,
• provisions arising from the Juvenile Justice Act,
• other rights and obligations arising from current legislation.

A particular value of the meeting was the reference of topics to real cases, which allowed for a better understanding of the consequences of intervention—both for the child and their guardians, as well as for those reporting the cases.
The topic of the legal responsibility of aid institution employees also attracted considerable interest.

This is an important step in building a support system for young people in Lublin and strengthening the skills of staff working with young people.

We would like to thank all participants for their commitment.
