    HaLT is an alcohol addiction prevention project that consists of two different components that complement and reinforce each other. In the reactive project module, young people who have undergone inpatient treatment for alcohol poisoning are approached in hospital with the so-called "bridge talk". Talks with parents are offered. An experiential education group program (1 ½ days) can be planned.

    The folder "Fest geplant?!" ("Party planned?!") was created for the district to help clubs plan parties in practice, taking into account compliance with the Youth Protection Act. This folder is a guide through the jungle of youth protection laws with lots of other important information.

    General information can be found at http://halt-projekt.de.

    Organized by: Joint cooperation between Caritas Youth Addiction Counseling, District Office (Office for Youth and Family, Health Office), Kreisjugendring in cooperation with the local clinics.

Cannabis prevention services

  • "Cannabis - Quo Vadis?" - Workshop on cannabis prevention

    This is an interactive workshop that provides participants with well-founded and factual information on the subject of cannabis in six stages.

    During the workshop, the young people also reflect on their own biographies by relating the possible effects of cannabis use to the lives of fictitious people. Situations at home and at school are also acted out and discussed. In addition, a change of perspective with parents/caregivers and teachers is encouraged. Finally, the participants receive information about the help system in their region.

    Target group: School classes in grades 8 - 10 and youth groups of the appropriate age.

    Goals:

    • Education about the effects of cannabis use
    • Provision of information
