Training of Youth Drug Prevention Facilitators in Pakistan

The Pakistani non-governmental organisation, Aga Khan Rural Support (AKRSP), organised its first four day training programme on evidence-based school and community drug abuse prevention for teachers from 6th - 10th October, 2017 in collaboration with Colombo Plan.

The main aim of the training was to strengthen and polish the skills of teachers to assist in evidence-based drug abuse prevention activities, to teach them about life skills and to provide them with the necessary skills to make their respective institutions 'drug-free'. During the whole training the teachers learnt about new drugs, their abuses, causes and symptoms of drug addiction and they also realized that they play an active role in substance use prevention.
