Communication in Fight Against Addictions - Kolektif - Nobel Akademik Yayıncılık

In today’s societies, many social phenomena that pose risks to individuals are being brought into life without sufficient solutions yet. These negativities, which are unexpectedly added to the chain of problems one after another, condemn the people, of the age, especially children and young people, to insecurity, pessimism and, more importantly, loneliness. Children and young people, who are becoming more and more isolated in crowds, are confused about where and how they can hold on. The risk created by such a picture also forces everyone and units that undertake duties related to children, young people, and families to be sensitive. In general, preventing all addictions and the victimizations that arise from them before they occur in family, school, society, and other social environments is highly dependent on early sociological diagnoses on the one hand and on tight communication networks within the family and society on the other. The creation of academic “social risk maps” on a country basis, the production of policies suitable for these, and their implementation will also contribute to the healthy functioning of the communication networks necessary for solving addiction-related problems. Undoubtedly, the problems encountered in the communication process are also present in society, independent of addictions. However, it would not be an exaggeration to say that addictions can be largely eliminated by simply improving communication and relationship skills.
