The Green Crescent Addiction Prevention Training Program (TBM) is a primary prevention program developed by the Green Crescent in 2014, consisting of modules on technology, gambling, tobacco, alcohol, and substance addictions, and healthy living. It is designed to raise awareness across the whole society on these issues, with a special focus on children and young people, while also training volunteer trainers who can further disseminate the program.
This training is open to Country Green Crescent representatives and professionals working in collaboration with the IFGC (psychologists, psychiatrists, healthcare workers, educators, and related professionals). Applications from other professionals not working in collaboration with the IFGC or the Country Green Crescents will be accepted based on capacity.
Upon successful completion of the training, participants will be certified as practitioners of the program, authorized to deliver its content to their local participants.
Following the training, all participants are expected to implement the TBM program in their communities. Their activities will be monitored once throughout the year to ensure effective application and continuity of the program.
The aim of TBM is to prevent alcohol, tobacco, substance, gambling and technology addictions and to raise awareness on healthy living among the entire society, especially children and youth. The objectives of the program are as follows:
The Green Crescent Addiction Prevention Training Program provides modules designed for different stages, such as pre-school, primary school, secondary school, high school, and adults, starting from the age of 4.
The TBM implementation materials were authored by renowned experts, and academics in the field. All TBM training content is based on solid, and reliable scientific foundations.
Through the TBM Practitioner Training for Country Green Crescents, it is expected that participants will conduct local awareness trainings in their own countries using TBM modules, thereby expanding the program’s impact at the national level. The training also aims to strengthen the expert capacity of Country Green Crescents in delivering addiction-related education, while enhancing the international visibility and effectiveness of the Green Crescent.
The program consists of the following sessions:
In this context, the training is designed not only to provide knowledge but also to improve participants’ skills in effective presentation techniques and adult education.
Important Note
To receive certification, participants must attend all training sessions and pass the final exam.
Addiction Prevention Training Program is free of charge.
