Prevention instead of addiction in Spain

The ”Prevention is living” programme intends to teach children and adolescents self-regulation and how to make responsible and informed decisions regarding their health in order to not only recognise risk of addiction, but prevent it.

The programme is open to children and adolescents aged six to eighteen coming from a background with a risk of addiction in the region of Aragon, Spain. They benefit from psychosocial care as well as leisure outdoor activities which are available during weekends and holidays. Moreover, teachers are taught by psychologists and social workers how to recognise patterns of addiction risks early on and take appropriate preventative measures.

Focus of foundation: Equal opportunities
Target group: Children, young people, and their families
