OUTREACH PROGRAMMES The Centre started a regular community forum in Jos in 1991. The CRISA Seminar on Drug Issues is an opportunity to educate the public about alcohol and other drugs and the social consequences of drug abuse. It is also an opportunity for participants to learn about available prevention and treatment resources in the country or in their communities. Topics addressed in past seminars include "Drugs and HIV/AIDS", "Tobacco or health", and "The burden of alcoholism." In order to make this outreach service available to as many people as possible, the seminar will now be held at different locations within and outside Jos. CRISA has worked with many voluntary service organizations and professionals in this project and continues to seek such collaboration. CRISA has recently initiated a HIV/AIDS prevention and counseling programme in collaboration with Pro-Health International with a workshop in Makurdi, Benue State. |
