Mattarella, understanding dependencies is fundamental to intervene


On the occasion of the VI National Conference on Addictions, the President sent a message to the Minister for Youth Policies, Fabiana Dadone.



"The phenomenon of addictions often has deep roots, linked to discomforts that can affect each person and that society struggles to grasp in time. Understanding this reality represents a fundamental starting point for intervening with the determination and the necessary skills in the various areas" . Mattarella writes "The vast program of the work of the National Conference is indicative of the dimension of the problem, which is tackled not as a circumscribed and little explored episode, but in all its complexity. The sessions of the Conference are in fact dedicated to the different aspects and to the many possible manifestations of addiction: they highlight, despite the drama of the issues addressed,the great commitment and awareness of those who work at all levels in the sectors involved and in the reference institutions ".



 "I am sure that these days, thanks to the effective articulation of the works and the moments of debate, will be able to allow, thanks to the competence of those who participate, an important exchange of information and experiences and thus contribute to identifying useful strategies to stem and fight , with the most suitable knowledge and tools, this worrying problem. It is with this hope that I express to all the participants, speakers and organizers of the VI National Conference on Addictions my best wishes for a fruitful and in-depth discussion ".
