In June Decent Conversations participated in different activities to sensitize the public on the dangers of drugs and substance abuse.
Through the engagements, there was a general concern that young people are having multiple addictions as a result of the modern lifestyle. This is also a conversation that came up during our May forum on #MentalHealth.
Some of these addictions include gambling, gaming, Internet and phone addiction, sex, and pornography just to mention but a few.
To better understand #Addiction, we are organizing a forum that will be held on the 13th of July 2018 at the American Spaces Moi (Bazzar 5th Floor) starting 4:30 to 7:00 pm. Our panel will include an addiction counselor, a counseling psychologist, a youth leader, and a youth minister. All are welcome and entry is Free!

You will realize that most of us have that one thing that gives us our 'high'. This 'high' is a result of the release of dopamine a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain's
reward and pleasure centers.
Dopamine also helps regulate movement and
emotional responses, and it enables us not only to see rewards but to
take action to move toward them. It is this dopamine that causes addiction, especially in those will low levels.
This will be a discussion that will change your life, DO NOT MISS OUT!!
