Abstract

The essence of the article is to draw attention to the importance of preventive measures in the field of addiction to harmful substances undertaken in schools towards children and youth. The results of a pilot study conducted for one of the schools as part of the diagnosis of phenomena related to the occurrence and use of psychoactive substances by adolescents will be presented.

The school period is for a child and a young person an important time of changes in the spheres of development and shaping of identity and personality. It is important that young people receive support to help them solve problems and avoid risky behavior.
