The second meeting of the Municipal Council for the Prevention and Assistance of Problematic Consumption and Addictive Behaviors was held, in which various institutions and organizations of the city with which different objectives are being worked on took part.
One of the Council's objectives is for the different actors working on this subject to meet to develop an action plan, fundamentally from the Directorate of Social Strengthening, which depends on the Secretariat of Health of the Municipality of Concordia, through the Municipal Device for Addressing Addictive Behaviors of Problematic Consumption.
In this regard, the Director of Social Strengthening Rubén Mendoza highlighted that “we began to set up an agenda. For example, for the 4th (of next month), all institutions will bring a summary of their actions where they will comment on the number and status of the people they are attending to: age, type of consumption, and fundamentally the place where they are working”.
Subsequently, he added: “The objective is to create a map of the city regarding the type of consumption, form of consumption, and ages. In that sense, we are going to be able to establish an internal guideline regarding the existing regulation. Through online documentation, we will work with all the institutions”, he stressed.
The next meeting will be held on Friday, October 4th, at the Municipality of Concordia and, from then on, the participating entities will meet once a month at the headquarters of the different institutions that are part of the council.
Present were the Undersecretary of Social Development Roberto Niez; representatives of SEDRONAR; the Undersecretariat of Education; the Community Territorial Device (DTC) that operates in the Los Pájaros neighborhood; the Problematic Consumption area of the province of Entre Ríos; Felipe Heras Hospital; Entre Ríos Police; Institutional Alcoholism Group; the Nueva Vida church; and non-governmental organizations.
