Prevention is a process of training people in personal and social skills to meet the needs, demands, difficulties and challenges of life. It is a basic social process of intervention, which generally concerns various forms of social and mental pathology of an individual or a group. As a process, it empowers individuals and systems to meet the challenges of life events and changes, creating and enhancing the conditions that promote healthy behaviors, attitude and lifestyle.

Prevention is a way of life and a continuous process that happens every day in the family, at school, in the neighborhood, at work, in socializing with other people! It is the essential communication with ourselves and other people, the actions we can take in order to improve the conditions of our life and daily life, our participation in issues of the community in which we live and concern ourselves (commonly), the conscious choice to live without dependencies and “crutches” and finally to face the difficult situations by making choices that represent us and protect us!

1. Primary prevention (refers to actions, moves and interventions that are made to prevent or reduce the likelihood of a problem).

The primary prevention of all forms of divergences, dependencies, deviations is the most effective solution in matters of personal development and formation, social cohesion and enhancement of mental health! (It is the area that all the competent bodies, and of course the stakeholders, should focus).
