SOS Children's Villages Syria conducted training addressing the harms and risks of drugs on individuals and the society as a whole. The program targeted supervisors, educators, and specialists involved in Youth Care services, the villages, and Small Group Homes, in partnership with the Ministry of Interior, department of drug control.
The training presented the types and risks of drugs, their legal implications under the Syrian law, and relevant procedures. It also aimed to correct misconceptions about drug use and equipped our staff with guidelines for organizing drug-awareness programs. The second phase of training is being prepared and will focus on young people aged 14-25.
