Dialogues for Sobriety: Health Learning in the Context of Addictions – A Hungarian Model

Abstract

A Hungarian school of social work, a rehabilitation centre for recovering drug addicts* and several secondary schools cooperated to build an inspiring context for health education by working out fresh and innovative methods in the prevention of addictions. These methods were evaluated by using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. Outcomes reflect participants' emotional involvement and release of creative energies in the dialogic process.
