Substance abuse in educational institutions is a big concern as many students are susceptible to its habitual usage. Through learned intervention by teaching the trainees about the cause, symptoms and the consequence of this behavioral menace, the trainees can be made aware and probably saved from the danger.
The workshop was informative, methodical, appropriate and tailor-made for the needs of the trainees. The trainees took the workshop in all seriousness as many of them have already seen addiction from close quarters, in family, friends and acquaintances. They asked many questions to the workshop-conductor, clarifying their doubts and reservations regarding substance abuse. As the workshop progressed, many trainees came forward, toying aside shyness and fear, two main reasons preventing the victims from coming in open and seeking help.
The workshop was a very fruitful exercise for all as the trainees immensely benefited from the knowledge in keeping safe distance from a habit that can eventually ruin their lives.
