Green Crescent Week


Istanbul Gelisim University Coordinator of Combating Addiction Assist. Prof. Nurten ELKIN shared about “March 1-7 Green Crescent Week”.


The first week of March (1-7 March) is celebrated as "Green Crescent Week" in our country every year.

It was founded by Mazhar Osman Uzman and his friends with the permission of the Sultan on March 5, 1920 in Istanbul under the name "Hilal-i Ahdar". For this reason, 1-7 March, the establishment of the Green Crescent, is celebrated as the Green Crescent Week.

The Green Crescent is an institution that is among the "Public Beneficial Societies", which fights against habits such as cigarettes, alcoholic beverages and other drugs, and serves the public with its efforts to protect the public, especially the youth, from all harmful habits.

Green Crescent Week; It includes addictions, one of the important public health problems of our country, and the fight against all addictive substances.

Green Crescent; works with the goal of a good and healthy life; He has been struggling with 5 different addictions: tobacco, alcohol, substance, gambling and internet, and has been trying to reach this in individuals of every age group for 101 years. Since its establishment; By adding increasing types of addiction to its struggle, it increases its benefits to the society, contributes to the awareness of individuals of all ages with prevention activities, and stands by addicted individuals and their families with rehabilitation activities.

Green Crescent carries out different projects to raise awareness for children from an early age. Turkey Anti-Addiction Training Program (TBM), which is carried out with the aim of raising awareness about addiction types in the society, especially in children and youth, is an important study.
Green Crescent Counseling Centers provide free service in 100 centers.

Green Crescent, which added rehabilitation services to its fields of activity in 2013, has been serving with Green Crescent Counseling Centers (YEDAM) since 2015. Free psychological counseling support is provided to addicts and their relatives with 100 YEDAM.

Green Crescent carries out research and development activities by using scientific and evidence-based methods and produces and implements projects according to the results obtained, not only in education and activities, but also in Fighting Addictions.

According to Green Crescent; Addiction is the loss of control over a substance, alcohol, object or behavior that a person uses. Therefore, any substance or behavior that is used uncontrollably carries the risk of addiction.

We draw attention to the importance of this week in terms of protecting and improving human health and public health, gaining healthy lifestyle behaviors, preventing addictions, reducing risk factors and creating all kinds of awareness about addictions.
