Sanna Pylkkänen & Veijo Kokkola – Do I have the courage to intervene;<br />
do I know how to act?<br />
Action speak louder than words 15.10.04<br />
Do you know Klaari?<br />
The Klaari Helsinki means the City of Helsinki arranges activities jointly responsible for preventing<br />
young’s substance abuse. The Klaari project enables the adults and adolescents and co-workers of<br />
different fields to operate voluntarily and to assist in order to implement new ideas. The main goal<br />
is to create a safety network for young people that help them to improve their wellbeing and to<br />
decrease their substance abuse. The principles of the operation consist of quality, voluntarily,<br />
partnership, and independence and trust in the future.<br />
Preventive work for substance abuse in the Klaari project<br />
It means that attempts are made to decrease regional risk factors and to increase protective factors in<br />
co-operation with the children, adolescents, families, municipal officers/authorities and other coworkers.<br />
The Klaari operation appreciates the role of parents and invites them to join in planning<br />
and launching the operation. The preventive work concerns all the substances and using habits<br />
including the tobacco. The Klaari project will support the young people for appreciating the non-use<br />
of substances.<br />
The Klaari co-ordination<br />
Will emphasise the knowledge and expertise; it means linking and<br />
mediating the existing knowledge, services, and other resources<br />
accordingly, and launching the operation. The workers of the Klaari<br />
project assist and contribute to this operation together with other coworkers<br />
in order to make possible the preventive work for substance<br />
abuse. The Klaari project will interpret and exploit the strengths<br />
existing already in the community.<br />
