Drug Abuse

This is the destructive addictive patterned use of drugs. we at TGIF conducted a research recently and discover that the drug abuse unit had the highest number of patients who were majorly youths, and so we have develop a strategic quarterly program, as a systematic way to curtail this numbers as well as to put an end to the impact of this injurious drugs in our society.

Gender Based-Violence

This is abuse meted out to an individual based on their gender. It is one of the most rampant human rights violations and most women experience it even tho men could be victims too. We at TGIF recovered that 75 percent of women and about 25 percent of men face gender-based violence daily. Therefore our platforms are available to amplify gender voices at any level , age, belief or place .

Social Learning

According to the Social learning theory, proposed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of observing, modelling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Social learning theory considers how both environmental and cognitive factors interact to influence human learning and behavior. Therefore we at TGIF believe that learning through mentoring and modeling would help the youths inculcate the right behaviors, skills and attitudes towards their goals.

Drug Abuse Amongst Youths and its Consequences

I myself became a second-chain smoker in my third year at the University. I had heard about all the dangers of drug abuse and I did well enough to ensure I did not get myself into taking drugs but obviously, I could not influence my neighbor’s whose activities inherently affected me as well.
