DREAM Trivandrum organized an awareness program at St. Anthony’s Public School, Valiyathura, to educate students about the dangers of drug abuse and the importance of making informed choices. The session aimed to enhance students’ understanding of substance abuse and strengthen their ability to make positive, health-conscious decisions. The event was part of DREAM Trivandrum’s ongoing commitment to creating awareness among youth and guiding them towards a drug-free lifestyle.

Ms. Neha Joseph, Coordinator of DREAM Trivandrum, and Ms. Anooja R., counselor led the awareness session. Their engaging and informative approach helped students grasp the severe consequences of drug abuse while fostering a safe space for open discussions. The session provided students with valuable insights on coping mechanisms, building resilience, and recognizing early warning signs of addiction, making it a significant resource for their personal development.

DREAM, which stands for Drug Rehabilitation Education and Mentoring, is an initiative by Trivandrum Don Bosco Veedu Society to reduce drug and addiction rates among youth. This project adopts a preventive education strategy, combining awareness programs, counseling services, and rehabilitation support to foster a drug-free community. DREAM is dedicated to empowering young people to make healthy life choices, helping them lead purposeful lives free from the influence of substance abuse.
