important activities of Yeniden. To prevent substance use and addiction;
more than 30.000 parents, 23.000 teachers, 1.100 administrators and
2.400 school consultants were trained. Generally, these trainers trained
other people and that’s why we couldn’t calculate the number of whole
trained people.

supervision for different institutions coming from different provinces

and evaluation tests to prevent drug addiction. All the materials are
available on Yeniden’s web site for free.
