Algiers, November 2, 2025 – Comprehensive awareness campaigns targeting the dangers of drug abuse and psychotropic substances are being rolled out in schools across western and southwestern Algeria. The initiatives aim to educate students about the risks associated with substance abuse and promote a healthy lifestyle.
These campaigns include interactive workshops, informative sessions, and the distribution of educational materials. Experts in addiction and mental health are participating to provide accurate information and answer student questions. The focus is on prevention, early intervention, and fostering a supportive environment within schools.
In related news, a dedicated hotline has been established to provide confidential support and guidance related to drug prevention within the school environment. This green number will serve as a valuable resource for students, parents, and educators seeking assistance or information.

This mobile initiative will travel to various educational institutions, engaging students and raising awareness through innovative and impactful programs. The caravan is equipped with resources to facilitate discussions and provide access to relevant support services.
