Influence behavior to prevent negative health risk.
That is the goal of a workshop that launched the Department of Social Policy Lorquí-in coordination with the Association of Women Active in the municipality and the local Social Services Centre, and is aimed primarily at women.
Through this workshop is to sensitize participants to their role as a preventive drug in promoting the adoption of healthy habits to family and community level.
In addition, this initiative aims to raise its share to the general public through the dissemination of information leaflets produced by them.
This workshop, held in the old City Hall building (Liberty Square, next to the local police), consists of a total of 12 sessions that are held Mondays and Wednesdays from 17 to 18 hours and where we consider some content.
On the one hand, participants performed a training course which will receive various content: mental health, self esteem, stress coping techniques, snuff use and abuse, alcohol and drugs, detection of indicators of risk, alternatives for action at the household level and community ...
On the other hand, the attendees also participate in a workshop on development of information leaflets (which will later be distributed) and awareness.
Preventable health problems
"There are risk behaviors (smoking, alcohol abuse, self-medication ,...) leading to frequent health problems in adults," said Councilman ilorcitano Social Policy, Sebastián Sánchez Asensio, that affects the " upward trend among our adolescent risk situations from consumption, such as traffic accidents or work. "
"Therefore, initiatives like the proposal in this workshop are very useful tools to combat these realities," says Sánchez Asensio.
