During this Thursday, Mayor Francisco Azcué participated in the training session for the formation of preventers of problematic consumption, promoted by the Municipality of Concordia, through the Commission on Problematic Consumption that is part of the Local Human Development Board and organized jointly with the Ministry of Health of Entre Ríos, civil associations, and intermediate institutions.
The objective was to provide practical and interdisciplinary tools to municipal workers, educators, health personnel, community leaders, and the general public, to address situations linked to problematic substance consumption, from a perspective of prevention and community care.
During the opening of the activity, Mayor Azcué maintained that it is extremely positive to be able to carry out sessions of this nature “because it is about all of us being able to commit ourselves to this very complex problem, which needs a comprehensive approach” considering that problematic consumption “requires a level of professionalism and capacity” that demands joint and coordinated work between different sectors of society.
After highlighting the formation of the Local Human Development Board where one of the commissions addresses the issue, Azcué highlighted that today we are facing a reality “that shows us the progress that consumption has had, which is why it becomes extremely important to have more tools, in this case preventive, to be able to stop this scourge”.
The activity was led by Dr. Pablo Cymbalista, Director of Prevention and Control of Addictions of the Ministry of Health of the Province of Entre Ríos, who stated that the objective of the meeting “is to provide tools and be able to establish what the role of the community preventer will be, who will be the person in charge of being able to make some diagnosis and based on those diagnoses, generate preventive actions for the people and the problems of the place, knowing the resources”.
Finally, the Secretary of Human Development Sebastián Arístide stated that it is about combating “a problem that has no social strata and that has no specific areas” adding that based on the data obtained through the Relevar Project, issues that affect families in different ways were detected and that is why this first step of generating spaces for training and learning has been taken”.
The National Deputy Nancy Ballejos, the Provincial Deputy Carola Laner, councilors, representatives of intermediate organizations, teachers and students from different educational establishments, and the general public accompanied the event.
