We are pleased to announce that at the request of our partners and colleagues from other countries AFEW-Ukraine has prepared a Russian and English translation of the guidelines “Best practices in working with adolescents”.

These guidelines were developed for people working with most-at-risk adolescents, in particular those who use psychoactive substances. The document describes the specifics of working with adolescents, contains practical recommendations on how to organize preventive interventions as well as description of tools and references to useful resources.

We remind you that the authors of the guidelines are Ірина Нерубаєва/Iryna Nerubaieva (Ukraine), Arseny Pavlovskiy (Latvia) and Anastasiya Shebardina (Ukraine).

The Ukrainian version of the guidelines was released on January 18, 2021 and is available at the link: http://afew.org.ua/najkrashhi-praktiki-roboti-z-pidlitkami/
