JThe women approaching our counselling centre often approach for our support due to excessive alcoholism of their husband. Hence we felt our dire necessity for awareness and rehabilitation centre for addicts.
Our awareness programme components are divided into 3 categories. One is among public, through SHGs and last but not the least to bring awareness among school students by way of competitions like drawing, essay and oratorical and slogan competitions. We received very good impact and outcome through this approach. In addition, among the public crowding places and community, we brought awareness through folk songs and awareness programmes through cultural programme, signature campaign.
Thus JCC implemented awareness programmes on de-addiction at Chinnasalem of Villupuram as well as in and around Malumichnpatti of Coimbatore District. The identified addicts in our project areas needing treatment and rehabilitation have been referred to Dindigul District. Our social worker took effort to travel with patients and admit them in De- addiction centre by following proper procedure .
Thus during this reporting year, 41 addicts from Coimbatore and 62 addicts from Kallakurichi have been referred to Govt. recognised de-addiction centres. The addicts referred through our Trust are maintaining soberty and leading drug free life.
