Awareness Programs on Drug Free Himachal with Educational Institutions
Recovery Classes
Our organization has been actively organizing Awareness Programs with the Educational Institutions like Schools / Colleges and for the Youth to create awareness about drugs, its forms, availability, ill-effects of drugs, and their future and so on, since our inception, with the motto of ‘Drug Free Himachal’.
During our sessions, we try to reach the mindset of the youth by different mediums such as Nukkad Natak’s, Rallies, Drama’s, Skits, Presentations and more, in which ensure that, keeping in lieu the sensible topic / issue of drugs, we educate the youth about different factors involved in substance abuse. Before ending our sessions, we also tell them about the various sources of help that one can get, to quit drugs, if they or any of their friends / family is into it.
Awareness Programs with the Village Council / Panchayat
Our energetic and motivated team has been actively interacting with different village council’s of our state, taking their permission to organize the following in their respective Panchayat’s:
a) Door to Door Awareness – Spreading awareness on drug abuse door-to-door assists and facilitates in reaching the maximum community people and also in showcasing our results to them. By doing this, we also motivate the community in participating with our motto of eradicating drugs from our society. At times, we have been successful in getting the community involve with the village council and frame a drug-control policy of their own Panchayat, which, in turn, helps the youth to keep themselves away from drugs. During these visits, we also get a chance to identify youth who are in the initial phase of substance abuse and assist them timely.
b) Awareness Programs – Our awareness programs at village level emphasize majorly on youth, but also cater for all the genders. We specifically talk about avoiding temptations and peer pressure, seeking help for any kind of mental stress or illness, examining the risk factors wherever they see them, keeping a well-balanced life and most of all, developing goals and dreams for one’s future, in our awareness programs, proactively involving the participants, for better results.
Along with the above mentioned, we also organize small road marches, rally, mukkad nataks’ and more, at the village / Panchayat level, to increase awareness.
Virtual Awareness and Counseling Programs
Post Corona, in the 21st Century, Virtual World also plays a very significant role. Adapting to the latest trends and technologies, we are also focused on facilitating Virtual Awareness and Counseling Programs through the following channels:
a) Online Counseling Service – We offer Online Counseling Services by experienced counselors, doctors and ex-addicts, with the use of technology, online, to the parents, children and family based programs as they have been proven to be effective in preventing drug abuse.
b) Online Video Channels – We have Video Channels in which we showcase videos, speeches while give guidance classes, presentation and so on regularly creating awareness about drug abuse and its effects, risks involved and the consequences arising from it.
c) 24/7 Assistance and Helpline Service – We have been facilitating the communities and the drug abusers / addicts through our 24/7 Hours Assistance and Helpline Service number 99158-11025, through which, we have helped more than 5000 beneficiaries till date.
Counseling Service by Professionals
One of our segment of approach and facilitation is ‘Counselling Services by Professionals’ in which we loop-in professionals engaged in Drug Treatment and Rehabilitation Services & facilitate the inmates along with the general community, through the following sessions:
a) Behavior Therapy – It focuses on changing an individual’s behavior concerning substance misuse and developing a positive attitude & mindset, while, teaching them life skills to help them to better cope with the situations that may lead to substance abuse and relapse.
b) Motivational Therapy – Through this therapy, we try to inculcate optimism in our inmates through a combination of humanistic treatment and enhanced cognitive behavioral strategies.
c) Relapse Prevention Therapy – Through this therapy of ours, we try to reach to the roots of addiction and understand the reasons for relapse. Post that, we develop a strategy to reduce the likelihood and severity of relapse following the cessation or reduction of problematic behaviors, in consultation with the inmates, precisely for each one of them, separately.
d) CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) – A most commonly used therapy in substance abuse treatment, focusing on finding connections between the thoughts, feelings and actions of an inmate / patience and increasing awareness of how these things will impact their recovery, has been successful for us too.
e) Individual / Group / Couple Counselling – Psychotherapy or Talk Therapy is something which impacts our psychological status, i.e., every human needs someone to talk to, someone to listen to and someone to make us understand. We stick to these counseling sessions or therapy particularly with our inmates, wherein, trained mental health clinicians engage our patients in individual discussions, group sessions to understand each other’s concerns while offering support & couple sessions to improve communications between partners and strengthening their connections.
