This initiative is part of the first phase of a communication program aimed at preventing drug-related risks through a networked approach. The caravans provide health and psychological services, as well as educational and awareness-raising activities.

According to Wafaa Maammar, head of the women's and family affairs department at the regional delegation, the initiative aims to raise awareness about the risks associated with drug use and provide support to young people.
Lilia Mbaraki, a psychologist at the regional delegation for family and human habitat, highlighted the importance of providing a supportive environment for young people to discuss their problems and concerns. She emphasized that the caravan's services are designed to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent addiction. The caravan also provided an opportunity for students to interact with experts and receive guidance on managing stress and making informed decisions.

The mobile caravans are part of a broader effort to address the issue of drug addiction in Tunisia. The country has seen a rise in drug-related problems in recent years, particularly among young people.

The mobile caravans are an innovative approach to reaching young people in remote areas and providing them with access to health and psychological services.
The caravans have been well-received by local communities, with many young people taking advantage of the services offered. The initiative has also raised awareness about the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction, including social and economic factors. By providing a supportive environment and promoting healthy lifestyles, the mobile caravans aim to reduce the risk of drug addiction among young people in Tunisia.
