breaking chains: empowering villagers through de-addiction workshop.

May 3, 2023

At the heart of our commitment to uplifting communities lies the recognition that sometimes, a helping hand is needed to break free from the grip of addiction. We took a significant step towards this goal by organizing a De-Addiction Workshop in Ettapalli Surhagarh. This event, in collaboration with Navikiran Rehabilitation Center, Chandrapur, aimed to shed light on the issue of addiction prevalent in Gadchiroli district.

Gadchiroli district has prohibited alcohol, but the reality on the ground is different. Many villages are grappling with addiction issues, whether it's alcohol or tobacco. To combat this challenge, we partnered with Navikiran Rehabilitation Center to organize a workshop that would provide a platform for the villagers to address and overcome their addiction.

The workshop was structured to address the issue at various levels. Group counseling sessions formed the cornerstone, fostering open discussions among villagers. Individual discussions were also conducted, offering a personalized approach to help participants find a way forward. Importantly, couples had the opportunity to engage with counselors, recognizing the role of family support in the journey towards de-addiction.

A total of 200 male villagers and 50 female villagers participated, each stepping onto a path of transformation. This event was not merely a workshop; it was a step towards healing, empowerment, and renewal. By addressing addiction, we're not only helping individuals but also the entire community. As we move forward, our commitment to creating positive change remains unwavering.
