Health Promotion and Addiction Prevention in the Child and Youth Sector

Health promotion and addiction prevention in the child and youth sector start early to strengthen young people in their development and to prevent risky behavior. Par­tic­u­lar­ly effective are measures that are conveyed through multipliers – i.e., educational pro­fes­sion­als, teachers, or parents. They accompany children and young people in everyday life and have a direct influence on their health behavior.

Our Offers

We offer practical training, workshops, and con­sul­ta­tion for multipliers. Contents include, among other things:

• Basics of addiction prevention and health promotion

• Recognition of risk factors and strength­en­ing of protective factors

• Moti­va­tion­al inter­view­ing with children and young people on sensitive topics

• Development of health-promoting structures in school and leisure time

Through these approaches, CNAPA supports sustainable prevention and helps pro­fes­sion­als and parents to accompany children and young people on their way to a healthy and self-determined life and to shape their living envi­ron­ments accordingly.

Our Target Groups

Our offers are aimed at educational and psy­cho­log­i­cal pro­fes­sion­als in schools, youth facilities, clubs, and other educational contexts, and at parents. They should be enabled to integrate preventive measures into their work or family everyday life and to act as role models for health-conscious behavior.
