Following the successful completion of the Addiction Prevention Training Program (TBM) held on 4–5 October 2025, a follow-up online supervision session titled “IFGC TBM 2025 Follow-up Process and Supervision Session” was organized on 18 February 2026. The session was jointly conducted by the International Federation of Green Crescent (IFGC) and the Turkish Green Crescent Society through its Training Management Department, with the aim of monitoring implementation processes and strengthening the capacities of certified practitioners across countries.
The one-and-a-half-hour program was led by Afra Sevde Çelebi. Trainers who have been actively delivering addiction prevention education in their respective countries shared their field experiences, discussed challenges encountered during implementation, and reflected on the outcomes of their activities. Participants emphasized the transformative, developmental, interactive, and community-centered impact of the TBM trainings. In several countries, the sessions generated renewed training requests, led to the establishment of parent support networks, and encouraged the formation of youth volunteer teams.
A total of 16 participants from 12 countries attended the supervision session, representing Africa (Nigeria, Kenya, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Somalia), North Africa (Tunisia), Europe (Greece, Kosovo), South America (Colombia), and Southeast Asia (Indonesia). This wide geographical representation once again demonstrated the multi-continental reach of the Green Crescent’s prevention model and its adaptability to diverse cultural and regional contexts. IFGC and the Turkish Green Crescent Society remain committed to sustaining capacity-building efforts, enhancing the quality of addiction prevention practices, and fostering continuous knowledge exchange among international practitioners.
