Addiction starts in everyday life.
Addiction starts in everyday life.
So does prevention.
Our aim: we aim to improve addiction prevention and health promotion for migrants. This includes providing information, fostering awareness and promoting skills. In doing so, we are making a contribution to integration in this field.
Addiction prevention: addiction prevention starts with young children and affects all generations:
the earlier the support is provided and a positive trend promoted, the fewer problems that occur later on. It is also important to know which situations could potentially lead to addiction, and how to deal with these dangers.

Health promotion: we aim to expand the health literacy of migrants. This includes communicating, for example, information about the Swiss health system and providing tips on nutrition and physical activity.
