GLOBAL DRUG AWARENESS DAY SPOTLIGHTS PREVENTION AS SYTOP EMPOWERS YOUTH

June 26th marks the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, observed annually to strengthen action and cooperation toward achieving a drug-free world. This year’s theme calls for investment in prevention — including justice, education, health care, and alternative livelihoods — the building blocks of sustainable resilience.
In Saint Lucia, local drug-free club SYTOP continues its mission of public engagement, with a particular focus on youth empowerment to help prevent an increase in drug abuse among young people.
