A brief but details explanations narrated to the Government Protocol on what we civil servants offered constantly within community as far as Dawa za kulevya is concerned!

Utumiaji wa Dawa za kulevya hufanya uharibifu wa mfumo wa fahamu na akili!

Akili ya Binadamu ipo na mambo matano; *Mtazamo* ⏩️ *Fikra* ⏩️ *Mawazo* ⏩️ *Hisia/Emotion* ⏩️ *Tabia/Behaviour*

Mtu akishakuwa hawezi kumudu Hisia zake tayari atakuwa na Tabia zisizo na *tija/beneficial/functional behavior* .

Tunahitaji Tanzania itasonga mbele kwa kuwa na Watanzania wenye kuleta tija kutosha kufikia dira 2050.

The relationship between drug abuse and mental health among youth is deeply interconnected. Prolonged use of psychoactive substances can trigger or worsen mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, paranoia, hallucinations, and psychosis. For many young people, drugs are initially used as a coping mechanism for stress, peer pressure, trauma, or economic hardship. Unfortunately, instead of providing relief, substance abuse often intensifies emotional distress and increases the risk of self-harm, violence, and social isolation. By recognizing the strong link between drug abuse and mental health challenges, societies can take decisive steps to provide accessible mental health services, counselling, and rehabilitation programs. Supporting youth through safe spaces, mentorship, and professional care can significantly reduce their vulnerability to substance misuse and its violent consequences.
