DGI Byen invites you to a free lecture with Christoffer Hansen on well-being challenges among children and youth
In recent years, we have seen more and more children and young people struggling with well-being challenges.
This affects families, professionals, and communities alike – and many are left with the feeling that they don’t quite know what children actually need.
In this free talk, Christoffer Hansen from PLAY sheds light on this topic. Through a mix of personal stories, professional perspectives, and concrete examples, he gives an honest and engaging insight into what characterizes childhood today – and what it requires from us as adults.
You’ll hear about how childhood has changed across generations, and why parents, grandparents, and professionals alike are facing entirely new challenges today.
Christoffer shows what a modern view of children means in practice, and how relationships and communities can be crucial for children’s mental health.
The talk also provides you with practical tools for how to:
• Support children and young people experiencing difficulties without losing yourself
• Keep the connection warm – even when collaboration is difficult
• Create calm and stability through your own self-control
• Find the balance between support, structure, and resilience
• Use the community around the child as an active resource
There is solid research behind PLAY’s work: Mental health is strengthened by doing something active, doing something together, and doing something meaningful. This is at the heart of the talk, inspiring you and giving you the courage to act – whether you are a parent, a professional, or simply someone who wants the best for children.
This talk is for anyone seeking greater understanding, practical tools, and a new sense of calm when engaging with children and young people who are struggling. You’ll leave with new knowledge, reflections, and practical methods you can use right away.
In short: You get insight, inspiration, and the power to act – all wrapped in professionalism, presence, and heart.
