کووڈ 19 نے گھر اور اسکول میں ہمارے روزمرہ کے کام کے معمولات کو خراب کر دیا ہے۔ یہ بچوں، نوجوانوں اور آپ کے لئے بھی مشکل ہے. نئے معمولات بنانے میں مدد مل سکتی ہے۔

ایک مضبوط لیکن لچکدار روزمرہ معمول بنائیں

• منصوبہ بند سرگرمیوں اور فارغ وقت کے لئے وقت کے ساتھ اپنے اور اپنے بچوں کے لئے ایک شیڈول ترتیب دیں۔ اس سے بچوں کو محفوظ محسوس کرنے اور بہتر سلوک کرنے میں مدد مل سکتی ہے۔
• بچے یا نوعمر دن کے معمولات کی منصوبہ بندی کرنے میں مدد کرسکتے ہیں - جیسے اسکول کی ٹائم شیٹ بنانا۔
• اگر وہ ایسا کرنے میں مدد کرتے ہیں تو وہ اس پر بہتر عمل کریں گے۔

جب ہمارے بچے اور نوجوان ہمیں پاگل بنا رہے ہیں تو مثبت محسوس کرنا مشکل ہے۔ عام طور پر، ہم کہتے ہیں کہ "اسے بند کرو!"، لیکن بچوں کو وہ کرنے کے لئے بہت زیادہ ہے جو ہم پوچھتے ہیں اگر ہم انہیں مثبت ہدایات دیں اور جو انہوں نے صحیح کیا اس کے لئے ہزاروں مبارک باد دیں.

اس طرز عمل کے بارے میں بات کریں جو آپ دیکھنا چاہتے ہیں

اپنے بچے کو یہ بتاتے وقت مثبت الفاظ کا استعمال کریں کہ کیا کرنا ہے ، جیسے ، "اپنے کپڑے یہاں سے نکالو ، براہ مہربانی؟!" (اس کے بجائے کہ 'گڑبڑ نہ کریں!')

یہ سب آپ کے بات کرنے کے انداز میں ہے

اپنے بچوں پر چیخنا صرف آپ کو اور انہیں زیادہ تناؤ اور پریشان کردے گا۔ لہذا ، اپنے بچوں کی...

Adolescence is characterized by the passage from childhood to adulthood. At this stage, it is totally normal and common for children to be likely to live new experiences outside the family environment. They want to build their own identity. They want to join a group, they want to socialize.

And it's totally natural for them to leave their homes to see this new world that lies ahead of them. But it is very important that parents can understand that although physically they are well grown, they are still developing the part of the brain that is responsible for decision-making, called the...

Can't you go to work? Are the schools closed? Worried about money? It's normal to feel stressed and overwhelmed.

School closures also represent the chance to build better relationships with children and adolescents.

Time for an eye-to-eye chat: it's fun and for free. It makes children feel loved and safe and shows how important they are.

Separate a specific time for each child.

It could only be 20 minutes or even more – it's up to us. Doing at the same time each day will generate expectation in children and adolescents.

Ask your children what they would like to do.

Choosing builds self...

With many drug users dealing with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, coronavirus isolation presents an unprecedented challenge.

With the advancement of isolation measures to try to contain the new coronavirus, some illegal drug users have started to stock up on their preferred substance to avoid shortages during the period when they cannot leave their homes.

But the consequences could be devastating, warn experts concerned that they could adopt riskier habits — such as using drugs they are unfamiliar with or abstinence, which can be dangerous if left unchecked.

This webinar focuses on the issue of self-care for addiction professionals and was delivered by ICUDDR Deputy Director Cary Hopkins Eyles.

Many of us are drawn to work in the field of substance use disorders due to our history, family, and personal traits, such as compassion and empathy. While these can be great assets, they can also be detrimental to us personally.

Cary has worked in the field of substance use disorders for 18 years. She is...

1. O que funciona na prevenção do abuso de substâncias?
Todos nós (esperamos) concordar que as autoridades e outras instituições responsáveis devem investir seus recursos em práticas eficazes de prevenção baseadas em evidências, baseadas em teorias científicas e avaliação de necessidades, que correspondam à idade e ao nível de risco dos grupos-alvo e sejam culturalmente adaptados e avaliados, especialmente em relação aos resultados e impacto nas populações-alvo. Todas as intervenções de prevenção devem ser implementadas por pessoal treinado e o programa deve ser cuidadosamente planejado desde...

The role of genetics in prevention

Substance use disorders can occur in families. Research suggests that genetics represents about 1-2 of a person's likelihood of developing a substance use disorder.

Genes are the functional units of our DNA that drive the development and functioning of every cell in our body. Some diseases, such as sickle cell anemia or cystic fibrosis, are caused by a "mutation" in a single gene. But many diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and substance use disorder, involve variations in many different genes that contribute to a person's overall level of risk and...

No entanto, um dos principais fatores de risco para doenças não transmissíveis continua sendo negligenciado: o álcool.
