[su_heading size=”20″]CAPPYC: Educational Prevention Programme[/su_heading]
The high prevalence of consumption among young people, aged 15 to 18, highlights the need to develop preventative interventions for problems related to said consumption.
To meet this prevention aim CAPPYC has adopted the prevention programme “Pasa la Vida”, a methodological work proposal intended for educators in formal and non-formal education to facilitate their educational prevention task with people aged 15 to 18. It represents also an innovative educational approach that enables young people to reflect on three main ideas about drug consumption that they usually adopt without having been sufficiently thought out in a rational way:
- The relationship between consumption and problems avoidance,
- The expectation of fun deposited in the cannabis use
- The supposed need for integration in a group as a motivator of consumption that perform or intend to perform
The “CAPPYC” programme is based on an audiovisual presentation that contains a series of excerpts from the story of Alex and Salva, two seventeen-year-old youths, about what they expect from the use of drugs (especially cannabis) and what drugs give them back. The ultimate goal of “CAPPYC” is, precisely, to increase the awareness of the risks of consumption and adjust the perception of benefits, as these are frequently clearly unbalanced.
In the field of the prevention of drug addiction it is not often you find proposals targeting young girls and boys aged 15 to 18. The main reason for this lies in the difficulties presented at this age for such purpose. Their proximity to the coming of age, differing educational situations, the presence of already stabilized consumption and the supposed impenetrability of this age range to adult proposals are aspects that enhance this difficulty. Here the need for CAPPYC!
