INFORMATION AND PREVENTION

"Collaboration between healthcare workers, educators, and administrators is key to building an effective, locally rooted safety net," emphasized Maria Antonietta Favilla , coordinator of the Lucera and Troia District Social Services, in her speech. "It's crucial to communicate with young people and their families to help them recognize the risks associated with addictions, which today take increasingly widespread and subtle forms, becoming traps that undermine freedom, compromise health, and destroy relationships."
