Information and Prevention
|
Every year thousands of leaflets are handed out in different areas of each province and especially in “hot spots”, where there is a high rate of consumption and crime. The possibility of free and immediate admission in the centre is always presented. We also aim to create public awareness of the fact that there is a real, final solution to the problem of drug addiction. Some of the ways we try to inform and offer prevention are by: - Street campaigns for adults and children (puppets) - Information offices in mobile units - Mass media information (radio, newspapers, billboards) Publicaciones - Visits to different prisons and institutions - Prevention campaigns in schools and colleges By all these means we try, not only to inform about the risk and consequences of drug use and alcohol, but also to transmit a message of hope to those who, for whatever reason, lack it. Our desire is to transmit the truth that the main need of every human being is to make peace with God. Apart from the already-mentioned projects, there are other voluntary projects carried out by the people in RETO. Assistance is offered to the sick, both in hospitals and homes, and soup kitchens are opened and are of great help. “El Faro” in Madrid and “Rescate” in Santander are places, where people in need come daily to ask for help. These places were, in some cases, the initial step taken by some drug dependent persons in the process of seeking rehabilitation offered by our Centre. |
