Aware Service

A conscious, enlightened church community that is free and fortified against the risks of addictions.
Service Message
We are a group of doctors and church servants seeking to raise awareness about the risks of addictions, their types, causes, effective treatment methods, and preventive measures through interactive educational and awareness programs grounded in science and church spiritual values. Our aim is to enhance the mental, physical, and spiritual health of the church community across various age groups and demographics.
Target Audience
Doctors, psychologists, social workers.
Priests, service secretaries, and church servants.
Children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years.
Service Description
The "Aware" service focuses on establishing a sustainable initiative within the dioceses aimed at addressing the various dangers of addictions affecting our youth, how to confront them, prevent them, and manage cases of addiction. This is achieved by organizing public awareness conferences, specialized courses, and training sessions within the dioceses for local doctors and servants, led by a group of specialized doctors from the service of Anba Abram for Development. Alongside this, the "Aware" service provides an awareness and education program about the types and dangers of addictions through interactive carnivals for children and adolescents, awareness lectures for their families, and training local servants to deliver these programs, along with providing the necessary interactive educational materials.
