The training titled “Addiction and Its Consequences” was conducted on 4 June 2025 by Naeem Aslam Chughtai over a duration of two days in Bahria University E-8 Campus Islamabad, under the domain of social development, aligning with SDG 3: Good Health & Well-Being. The session aimed to raise awareness about various forms of addiction, including substance and behavioral addiction, while highlighting their harmful physical, psychological, and social impacts. An interactive methodology was adopted, incorporating lectures, group discussions, case studies, and Q&A sessions, which encouraged active participation and knowledge sharing among attendees. Participants gained a deeper understanding of the causes, risk factors, and prevention strategies related to addiction, and developed a sense of responsibility to spread awareness within their communities. Despite minor challenges such as limited prior knowledge and time constraints, the training successfully enhanced awareness, promoted healthier lifestyle choices, and motivated participants to contribute positively towards society, making it a meaningful step toward achieving the goals of good health and well-being.
