Official Statement: Drug and Substance Abuse Training
Active Youth Zimbabwe proudly affirms its commitment to combating drug and substance abuse through comprehensive training programs focused on rehabilitation, recovery, and prevention.
Our training equips participants with practical knowledge and skills in rehabilitation and recovery, empowering individuals to support and guide those affected by substance use toward sustainable healing and reintegration into society. We place strong emphasis on addiction therapy and counseling, ensuring that trainees understand both the psychological and social dimensions of addiction, and are able to provide compassionate, evidence-based support.
In addition, our programs extend to community outreach initiatives, where participants are trained to actively engage communities, raise awareness, and promote early intervention strategies. Through education, advocacy, and grassroots engagement, we aim to reduce stigma and build resilient communities capable of addressing substance abuse challenges.
This training reflects our holistic approach—integrating prevention, treatment, and community empowerment—to create lasting impact in the fight against drug and substance abuse.
