The seminar discussed ways to protect youth from drugs, considering it a sensitive and dangerous topic that is widely spread across all social classes. One of the reasons for its prevalence is social and familial causes, highlighting that the less attentive parents are towards their children, the higher the risk of their falling into the trap of drug abuse. It emphasized the necessity of adopting counseling and guidance methods in correcting children's behavior and avoiding harshness. The seminar clarified the types of drugs, the harms of drug use, the symptomatic signs appearing on users, and methods of treatment. It also addressed the importance of reporting drug dealers and users to eradicate this alien phenomenon in our society.
In conclusion, the department head, Professor Dr. Alaa Kadhim Farhan, awarded a certificate of appreciation to the lecturer in recognition of her efforts in delivering the seminar.
