Puranen Päivi

Children’s and young alduts’ right to a safe environment in which to grow up is of great importance to me. I work as a supervisor for a unit that does preventive work on substance abuse and game education from primary school to higher education in the whole country. Focal in our work is genuine interaction with children, young adults and their parents.

We also train professionals working with children and young people. I cooperate with those responsible for preventive work on substance abuse in municipalities and with social and health care actors: my special expertise is school and educational work.
