KYDA POSTER PRESENTATION IN UAPC20

Shared by Joanna (ISSUP staff) -
Family therapy is that treatment that is aimed at addressing specific issues affecting health and functioning. This is always very helpful to the families going through a very difficult period just like the families KYDA Rehabilitation Centre is working with, which are alcoholic families. KYDA Organization social workers and counselors always do the activity since they have got experience in child protection and alcohol harm, behavioral problems and domestic violence in line with substance use.

Φόντο:

Η πανδημία COVID 19 παγκοσμίως είχε καταστροφικές αρνητικές επιπτώσεις, ειδικά σε χώρες χαμηλού εισοδήματος όπως η Ουγκάντα που έχουν εύθραυστο σύστημα υγείας και δεν μπορούν να διαχειριστούν πολλές περιπτώσεις. Οι κυβερνήσεις κήρυξαν lockdown και όλα έμειναν στάσιμα για πάνω από 75 ημέρες. Τα παιδιά και οι οικογένειές τους που εξαρτώνται από μικρές άτυπες επιχειρήσεις έκλεισαν, το κεφάλαιο έφαγε και δεν ήξερε τι να συμβεί στη συνέχεια.

Ολόκληροι οι 9 Drop in κέντρα / ασφαλείς χώροι έκλεισαν και πάνω από 2000 νέοι και φτωχά παιδιά παραγκουπόλεων διασκορπίστηκαν και μερικοί πήγαν...

RE: Αλκοόλ και COVID-19; Συγκρούονται δύο πανδημίες


Εισαγωγή:
 Στην Ουγκάντα έχουμε δει μια απότομη αύξηση και πρωτοφανή επίπεδα κατανάλωσης αλκοόλ που οδηγούν σε αύξηση των επιπέδων ενδοοικογενειακής βίας και εθισμού. Μερικοί άνδρες ξοδεύουν περισσότερο χρόνο πίνοντας και ως εκ τούτου εκτρέπουν χρήματα που προορίζονται για φαγητό για την αγορά αλκοόλ.
Στοιχεία σχετικά με το αλκοόλ σε σχέση με τον COVID 19
α) Η κατανάλωση αλκοόλ υψηλής περιεκτικότητας δεν σκοτώνει τον ιό COVID-19. Εάν νοθευτεί με μεθανόλη, μπορεί να οδηγήσει σε σοβαρές...
