In recent days, academic institutions in Jovellanos municipality have hosted important educational talks organized by the Ministry of Public Health and the Ministry of the Interior, with the goal of preventing drug use among students.
These actions are part of a comprehensive strategy to promote awareness and responsibility regarding the risks associated with the use of harmful substances.
The conferences, aimed at children, adolescents, and young adults, have provided opportunities for reflection on the physical, psychological, and social consequences of drug use, as well as on the importance of adopting healthy lifestyles.

Under the slogan «Say No to Drugs,» the educational community has been urged to remain vigilant and committed to fostering values that strengthen self-esteem, critical thinking, and responsible decision-making.
These actions, while fundamental in the school environment, must also be reinforced within families and the community. Parents, relatives, and neighbors have an essential role in prevention, educating by example and promoting safe, nurturing, and addiction-free environments.
Only through unity and the active participation of all sectors can we build a healthier, more aware, and better-protected community against this scourge.
