Dear friends,
Industry and celebrities are trying hard to make our youth fall for the temptation of using addictive substances. We all need to act to halt the tide in time. Once the culture of using addictive substances gets normalized in our society, it will be difficult to reverse.
You can contribute towards building an addiction free, healthy, happy and powerful society by
-
Sharing good awareness videos/posters via social media regularly. You can find some of our reels/videos/posters on these links Instagram, Facebook, Reels on YouTube. Our modules and other videos on YouTube. Click here to watch videos, audio stories and memes of WHO SEARO's Meri Pyaari Zindagi campaign.
-
Taking a stand: We all have the power to influence what is regarded as cool in our friend circle - drinking alcohol or not drinking it. Only people who speak up get counted and shape the public opinion. Do share your views with your friends & family, when this issue comes up. We need not force, but we have a responsibility to educate the next generation about this trap. Vote for healthy ways of celebration while parties/get togethers are being planned.
-
Donate: Funds we get are spent mainly on remuneration of counselors who conduct awareness talks & life skills workshops and who support people calling on our helpline.

-
Doing a social media campaign for students of your school: If you are associated with any academic institution you can share good videos/posters on this issue once every week for 2-3 months, on WhatsApp groups of students. Without spending any money or much time, you would shape a positive peer pressure on your campus and make a lasting impact on their minds. We can send you links of some good content made by various organisations. You may also choose to play some of these videos during assembly time intermittently.
-
Sharing your perspective: Youth come across industry-sponsored TV commercials, short films, billboards, etc. multiple times a day, getting messages that drinking alcohol brings happiness and success. While the suffering people have to undergo after getting trapped in alcohol addiction, happens outside their field of vision. To give youngsters a true picture of what to expect, you can share with them the true consequences of taking these substances, that you have witnessed in lives of people around you. You can make a short video. We will upload on our social media handles as well. (Can send it on poisonswelove@gmail.com)
-
Commit to quit today: Best way to lead is by your own example. If you are trapped in this addiction, don’t worry. We can help you to become addiction free.
