Ivančica d.d. is actively involved and tries to donate and help the local community as much as possible by getting involved in different projects, actions, and donations. During this pre-holiday season, we took part in the humanitarian action of the Bedem ljubavi Varaždin association with several other companies in Varaždin County, the Faculty of Organization and Computer Science, and all valuable volunteers and contributors.

We talk about child-to-child violence when one or more children intentionally and repeatedly disturb, injure, attack, or exclude another child who cannot defend themselves. This violence can be physical as physical injuries caused by pinching, hitting, biting, etc., and psychological, which refers to mocking, teasing, insulting, etc. Children may be threatened by violent peers, rejection, gossip, and taking or destroying personal belongings.

Although in children, it usually occurs in adolescence, depression may appear in some form already in kindergarten. Usually, very young children are not diagnosed with depression in the true sense of the term, but the first symptoms may show up even at an early age. Depression may occur after losing a loved one, family problems, school problems, violence, and life changes, but its onset is also influenced by genetic factors. Chronic exposure to adverse life factors significantly affects the development of depression.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the social determinants of mental health for children. Social isolation and the closure of schools and preschools have made it more difficult for children to socialize and communicate and maintain friendship.
