Health professionals, educators, and members of the Court, the Prosecutor's Office, the Ministry of the Interior, and others are providing fun spaces that encourage participation and timely reflection on the use of cigarettes, medications, and other substances.
To this end, a broad program of activities reaches the most diverse communities through specialists like Leonel de los Santos Parra, Health Coordinator for the Mir People's Council, who advocates for a full life free from addiction. "It is a multisectoral effort, but one of great importance for health personnel, who take center stage in conveying precise messages about, for example, the consequences of drug use, who to contact, how to do it, and its essence is to emphasize that it is never too late to quit this harmful habit."

Leonel de los Santos asserts that the exchange held at the sports center with athletes and workers was motivating and participatory. A similar initiative reached the Jesús Peña Serrano de Mir School of Medicine and will continue at other workplaces and schools to raise awareness of these issues, which are not lost on the lives of Calixto residents today.
Aware that everyone can contribute to the fight against drugs, young doctor Anniela Velázquez Velázquez shared with neighbors and patients in the Villa Magalis neighborhood. More than just definitions, she shared how to respond to suspicions at the addiction center, and promoted consultations and spaces that build bridges from the local community to prevent and combat this scourge.
The municipality of Calixto García is implementing a comprehensive strategy that today strengthens multisectoral actions in communities, neighborhoods, and particularly in educational centers. That's why every initiative counts and contributes to the community's good, helping to maintain zero tolerance for drugs.
