Educational Campaigns and Community Sensitization on Addictions
This project aims to educate young Black people and African immigrants about substance abuse and addictions. While the focus is on youth, it will also include older adults of African descent living in Nova Scotia. We will conduct sensitization programs in selected schools and churches across the province.
The program will inform young people about the effects of substance abuse and available resources for those struggling with addiction. It will also offer counselling services to address various issues affecting the daily lives of young Black individuals and African immigrants in Nova Scotia.
