Prevention of drug dependency and other addictions is one of the main aims of the work group, in addition to raising awareness, in order to improve coordination of preventions measures in the area.
Yesterday, the group produced a draft plan prioritizing measures to be taken over the next four years.
“We have to promote the rejection of drugs and the acceptance of different ways of enjoying leisure and socializing,” says Antoniio Merino, “The prevention of addictions is something that we are concerned about and we must look for urgent solutions. Working in a coordinated way and being sure that we have a plan for NW Murcia will be very positive for the local area.”
