dc.description.abstractColombia is a country with different social problems such as high politic violence since 1960. One of the huge issues is the fabric and selling of drugs. There are laboratories around the country. Many people at different levels of society have lived with this as a way of living, which has made violence sustainable and a way to support narcoterrorism. Since 1990 the problem has been not only about selling narcotics but also to start using them, including legal and illegal substances. The more used substance is alcohol, followed by nicotine and marijuana in young people. Additionally, there are some programs to prevent the use and abuse of substances. There is only one with supporting evidence called “Communities that Care.” This program started about 20 years ago in different states of Colombia. It is a preventive program for elementary, middle, and high school students. The prevalence of drug addictions and suicide is mostly among 18 to 21 years old. Furthermore, there is a need to continue under the Communities that Care model to evaluate programs that help the community decrease and support those in need. The mental health first response course is a way to bring tools to the community leaders in how to intervene and prevent risks of addictions and suicide behaviors. The course of Mental Health First Response contributes to the Colombian society to bring some tools to intervene and prevent the use and abuse of drugs and suicidal thoughts and behaviors.en_US
