“The information and awareness campaign aimed at preventing young people from the risks and consequences associated with the consumption of alcohol, cannabis and other substances and the practice of gambling (JHA) includes Addiction Prevention Week (DPS) and a media campaign.

Particular attention will be paid to the context of the pandemic and its impacts on the target groups.

The first part of the media campaign will be broadcast from November 30, 2020 to January 10, 2021. It aims to educate young people aged 17 to 24 and parents of adolescents to the risks of mixing up the emotions felt in the context of the pandemic with alcohol consumption.”
