Vopnabúrið is a gym and a leisure center that provides counseling and support to children and teenagers in need.

A center for children and teenagers
Vopnabúrið (the arsenal) offers councelling through sports, hobbies and interests where we work through trauma and difficult experiences of individuals. We build on the strengths of the individuals and shine a light on them which will then become the main focus of the work. Sleep, nutrition and exercise are core values and we work on improving the individuals mental and physical stability in their daily lives, work and play. Our primary goal is to connect individuals back into their community, for instance through more social activity, studies, work or sports among other things.

Risk behaviour
A child's risk behaviour is when a child behaves in a certain way that hurts or is likely to hurt its health and maturity. That may include drug abuse, self-harm, violence towards others and commiting a crime.

Teenage fights
Physical assault can have very serious consequences for everyone involved. Watching bullying happen and not doing anything about it is the same as participating in it.
