Collaboration and Prevention at Connected We Stand 2024

On Saturday, September 21, the “ELPIDA” Prevention Centre, emphasizing the concept of collectivity and the value of citizens’ partnership, participated in the multi-thematic volunteering festival Connected We Stand 2024. Together with colleagues from other Prevention Centres of Thessaloniki (K.P. Sirius, K.P. Pyxisida), we joined more than 100 civil society organisations in a celebration of culture, environment and social contribution.

The Prevention Centre “ELPIDA” was represented by the scientific staff Andreas Meditsko and Marianna Drakopoulou. At our booth, we discussed with the citizens of Thessaloniki what addiction prevention means and presented the programs we offer, such as parenting groups, educational seminars for teenagers, and awareness-raising activities in schools. Prevention is the key to tackling addictions and creating a healthy society.

The public response was very positive, with many citizens showing particular interest in the programmes for parents and teenagers. In addition to the information, we distributed information materials and engaged in discussions with other organizations.
