Led by Guylaine Benech, a sociologist and specialized trainer, these two sessions brought together a diverse audience. In the afternoon, a thematic conference was held for professionals and volunteers in the health, social, education, prevention, and security sectors. The objective was to better understand the specificities and challenges of alcohol use among women.
In the evening, a participatory conference open to all, titled 'How to Talk About Alcohol With My Teenager?', offered a space for dialogue and practical advice for parents and residents. Interventions from members of Alcoholics Anonymous of Gaillac and Friends of Health from Lot-et-Garonne provided poignant testimonies on the impact of alcohol.
Participants, including social workers, healthcare professionals, and parents, praised the quality and usefulness of the interventions. The combination of theoretical input, key figures, practical tools, and life stories was particularly appreciated for addressing daily challenges.
Building on this positive outcome, participants recommend the renewal of these initiatives. The CLSPD of the City of Gaillac thus confirms its commitment to continuing its information and support actions on addiction prevention.
