PRESS RELEASE: YOUTH OUTREACH CAMPAIGN

1 Roman Way, Cape Town, 06 August 2022, Our annual campaign aimed at the youth begins early this year. The campaigns provide information about the prevalence and dangers of fentanyl, the risks and consequences of mixing drugs, the life-saving power of naloxone, and the importance of reducing stigma around drug use to support treatment and recovery.

'' This is all aimed directly with young adults who reported using drugs, as well as peer recovery professionals, to develop the campaigns. Each campaign includes new resources on all four topics to help people make informed decisions, get the help they need, and ultimately reduce the rise in drug overdoses and overdose deaths'' said Richard Gerber the Drug Counselling Centre spokesperson

The event will be a week long program filled with information and help for those who are ready to accept it.

“Addiction is a treatable disease,” said Nicole Van Vuren, founder of the Drug Counselling Centre’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control. “And while recovery is not always a straight path forward, it is possible. Talking with a healthcare provider to develop a treatment plan that works best for that individual and connecting to other services and supports can aid recovery.”

Assignment 2: a. Outline the various challenges you encountered with regard to acquiring an online presence

Creating a blog is not an easy task, especially when some sites refresh themselves or have random pop ups while you are setting up the site. The aim problem was establishing the style of look for my blog as there are many layouts to choose from. I wanted a user friendly and clear look for my blog. I struggled to link everything together because on blogger the icons don’t appear and when you post something it takes a while for it to show unless you refresh the page. I had a few issues with creating a twitter account because it kept on making take that ‘’Are you a robot quiz’’ then would make me recreate an account again. Facebook and Instagram were much better. YouTube is user friendly. With all the socials I created I used the same logo and bio, to make each an everything look the same and making easy to create brand visibility.

2. SUCCESS STORY: UNIVERSITY TOUR ON DRUG AWARENESS

The drug awareness week is an annual, week-long, health observance that inspires dialogue about the science of drug use and addiction among youth. It provides an opportunity to bring together scientists, students, educators, healthcare providers, and community partner to help advance the science, so that we can improve the prevention and awareness of substance misuse in our own communities and nationwide. This year we had a much bigger budget and we used it to the full extent by covering 20 high schools and visiting CPUT, UWC and UCT then took to the streets of Johannesburg. We would like to thank our sponsors for making all of this possible, the community member who work hand in hand with us. We are nothing without you but mostly, our great team for always going above and beyond the scope. Thank you
