• In you opinion how important is parental education and relationships within the family in preventing drug addiction?

  With regards of the importance of family in drug abuse prevention, family - is the cohesion, unity and consistency. Everything that happens in a family affects spouses and children. Negative atmosphere in the family might push the child to seek for the world of illustiins where he can from his emptiness, hatred and depression. I want to encourage civil society to organize seminars, training courses, for example, under the title " Ways to build a strong family?"

• What should be in the Internet age and growth of online communities informational methods to combat drug addiction? What do you think, what means will be most effective today, and how the state should behave in order to successfully affect the suffering of drug addiction and to conduct prevention among healthy population?

  One of the most important means of information, which should be used in the fight against drugs -is a multi-channel communications between community leaders and drug addicts. Public figures need to keep their doors open to drug addicts, and not ignore and think of them as of social outcasts. It is also necessary to disseminate publications and documentaries about the former drug addicts who have returned to the society, and vice versa, movies showing the life of those who kept using drugs. The state must support financially and morally prestigious broadcasts, where interviews with former and current drug users coul dhave been shown. These talk shows should be periodically broadcasted, and be publically available, because they help to inform people about the dangers drugs pose.
