The Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Elderly, in cooperation with the National Family and Human Habitat Observatory, will launch mobile health and psychological caravans across Tunisia on September 29. The initiative, titled "Your Health First," aims to implement the first phase of a communication program to prevent drug-related risks. The caravans will provide health and psychological services to young people and families.
The mobile caravans will offer listening and support spaces, staffed by specialists who will ensure confidentiality and discretion. These spaces will provide guidance and psychological support to those in need. Additionally, the caravans will feature awareness-raising activities and information on the risks of drugs to physical and mental health, as well as their social and family repercussions.
The initiative seeks to promote the role of families in early prevention and help parents identify behavioral and psychological changes in their children, enabling timely intervention. By doing so, the caravans aim to support the psychological and social capacities of young people and families to prevent risky behaviors.
The caravans will also include interactive and awareness-raising activities targeting children and young people, aiming to promote a culture of prevention, combat stigma, and encourage healthy and safe behaviors. These activities will be designed to engage the target audience and promote positive change.
The "Your Health First" initiative is part of a broader effort to address the risks associated with drug use in Tunisia. By providing accessible health and psychological services, the government hopes to reduce the harm caused by drugs and promote a healthier and safer society.
The mobile caravans will be deployed across all governorates in Tunisia, ensuring that services are accessible to people in different regions. This approach will help to reach vulnerable populations and provide them with the support they need.
The Ministry of Family, Women, Childhood, and Elderly, and the National Family and Human Habitat Observatory, are working together to implement this initiative, which is expected to have a positive impact on public health and well-being in Tunisia. The caravans will operate on September 29, marking an important step in the country's efforts to prevent drug-related risks.
