The workshop was presented by fourth-year students Iman Ahmed Hamed and Aya Younis Ibrahim, who discussed—scientifically and comprehensively—the dangers of addiction, its psychological, social, and health effects, and methods of prevention, with a particular focus on protecting young people from behaviors that threaten their academic and professional futures.

The workshop also included a training component aimed at developing students’ skills in risk analysis and adopting preventive behaviors. An interactive segment allowed students to engage through discussions and questions, contributing to a deeper and more conscious understanding of the workshop’s topic.

The workshop concluded with a presentation by the Head of the Department of Management Information Systems, Asst. Prof. Dr. Ramadan Mahmoud Al-Ibrahimi, who highlighted indicators of addiction prevalence and emphasized the need for unified academic and societal efforts to combat it.

This workshop was organized in coordination with the Psychological Counseling Unit at the college, in support of programs aimed at raising students’ awareness and promoting a culture of self-protection within the university campus. It aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 3 (Good Health and Well-being), which focuses on reducing risky behaviors and safeguarding the health of individuals and the community.

The workshop witnessed the attendance of several faculty members and students, with noticeable engagement that reflected students’ awareness of the importance of cognitive and behavioral prevention in facing contemporary risks.
