The Hammer Youth Centre in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur received the Samf\u00e9s Encouragement Award for its project. ,Is there anything on your mind?\u201c <\/strong>which is about providing a service to young people in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and connecting them with counsellors from Bergi\u00f0 headspace, Samt\u00f6kin 78 and psychological services. Six projects were selected from a large number of excellent projects and nominations. The Hamarsins project was one of them, and is considered an example to others and an inspiration for good deeds. <\/p>\n

High demand for the services of the Hammer<\/h4>\n

Since 1 February this year, Bergi\u00f0 headspace has conducted around 40 interviews at Hamar, and Hamar's psychologists have been kept very busy. Often, the young people first meet the counsellor from Bergi\u00f0, who then guides them on to further resources such as St\u00edgam\u00f3t or to the psychologists at Hamar. Appointments can be booked at www.bergid.is<\/a> and www.samtokin.is<\/a> and state in the comments that you would like the counselling at Hamrinn. If you wish to meet a psychologist directly, please contact Magga Gauja at the email address mgm@hafnarfjordur.is<\/a>, DM on FB or Insta, or phone 664-5551. <\/p>\n

The Hammer is for all young people with all sorts of interests.<\/h4>\n

Hamarinn is a youth centre for young people aged 16-25.<\/a> in the old tax office at 14 Su\u00f0urgata, which operates on the values of equality, friendship and well-being. The Hammer has excellent facilities for events, and young people are encouraged to hold concerts, visual art exhibitions, meditate and reflect, or play Dungeons & Dragons late into the night in the space on their own terms. Hamarinn always has a cosy atmosphere and is the perfect place to play pool, watch series, play chess, pick up the guitar, play games, or just chill out and have a chat. Hamarinn works in close partnership with the Red Cross and runs an organised social programme for young people who are refugees and for young people from foreign backgrounds. All young people are welcome at Hamarinn, and the staff are on hand to help with anything on the minds of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's young people, in both Icelandic and English. <\/p>\n
