Care4Sud Project

🎯 NATIONAL INFO DAY – CARE4SUD Project, Cluj-Napoca 🎯
On May 27, 2025, at the Cazino – Urban Culture Centre in Cluj-Napoca, the national information event took place as part of the CARE4SUD project – Vocational training in illicit drug addiction: Equipping health care practitioners with addiction treatment competences and techniques, funded through the Erasmus+ programme and organized by the Directorate of Social and Medical Assistance (DASM) Cluj-Napoca.
🧠 The event brought together 54 participants – representatives of relevant authorities, addiction specialists, healthcare practitioners, social workers, psychologists, educators, and decision-makers – to discuss current professional training needs in the field of substance use and the solutions proposed by the CARE4SUD project.
📌 Topics addressed included:
• Continuous professional training for specialists working with individuals affected by addiction
• Good practices and effective psychosocial intervention models
• Public policy proposals based on research and field experience
• Interinstitutional collaboration – a key pillar in combating drug use
💬 The event was professionally moderated by Mrs. Carmen Ciornei, Head of the Social Protection Department within DASM Cluj-Napoca – to whom we extend our sincere thanks for her involvement.
👏 Special thanks to all speakers for their valuable contributions and their openness to sharing knowledge and experience.
🙏 We also extend our heartfelt thanks to the DASM project team for the impeccable organization and to all participants for their engagement and open dialogue. It is encouraging to see a committed community working toward improving support services for individuals affected by addiction.
💡 The CARE4SUD project is funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme and actively contributes to strengthening the skills of healthcare professionals in the field of illicit drug addiction treatment at both national and European levels.
