The International Federation of Green Crescent, in collaboration with Green Crescent Councling Center (YEDAM), hosted “The Role of Mindfulness-Based Interventions in Addiction Recovery” webinar on April 30, 2026. The online session brought together Green Crescent representatives and professionals from all around the world. The interactive one-hour webinar explored how addiction cycles are sustained by automatic thoughts and impulses, and how mindfulness-based approaches can help individuals recognize and interrupt these patterns.
The session featured presentations by YEDAM Psychologist and Feride Yüksel Barış and YEDAM Social Worker Hilal Kurt Kavraz, who highlighted the role of mindfulness techniques in craving management, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation within YEDAM’s holistic psychosocial support model. Moderated by Alaa Khalid Jemal, a volunteer from the Ethiopian Green Crescent and a psychology student, the webinar also included a Q&A and open discussion segment, allowing participants to share experiences and best practices from their respective countries. The event aimed to strengthen international knowledge exchange and raise awareness of mindfulness-based interventions in addiction treatment, as part of ongoing efforts to enhance global cooperation in prevention and psychosocial support initiatives.
