TryggEst is a grant program supporting competence-building initiatives to prevent violence against vulnerable adults in Norwegian municipalities. The program provides funding for municipalities that have implemented or plan to implement the TryggEst program, which focuses on protecting vulnerable groups including people with developmental disabilities, elderly persons, and patients with reduced functional capacity. Municipalities can apply for funding to support training, course participation, local information materials, conversation groups for target populations, and awareness campaigns. The initiative aims to increase competence among municipal employees about violence and abuse, improve detection of violence cases, and ensure proper handling of such cases. Priority is given to municipalities newly starting the TryggEst program.
