Ehkäisevä päihdetyö EHYT ry

• A new non-governmental organisation, EHYT ry, was founded on 1.1.2012 as three independent NGO’s merged into one.

(Elämä On Parasta Huumetta ry & Elämäntapaliitto & Terveys ry).

• Ehkäisevä päihdetyö EHYT ry is a nationwide NGO aiming to improve and promote healthier lifestyle among the Finnish people in all ages.

• EHYT ry is now the largest preventive substance abuse NGO in Finland. Besides working to prevent problems related to alcohol, smoking and drug abuse EHYT ry also aims to prevent gaming and gambling problems.

• EHYT ry believes that education can be fun. New information is absorbed more easier through entertainment, edutainment. Instead of one-way lectures, the games allow repetition and interaction in a playful form.

• “Habbo”, www.habbo.fi , is a virtual world for children and teens. EOPH employees have guided and participated in educational chat-room discussions on Habbo with teenagers on substance abuse prevention since 2002. Using the Habbo website, EOPH has been able to reach 10-15 years old Finnish children by meeting them in a space where they like to spend their leisure time. The virtual “Hubu” bus is located in “Habbo Park”.

• A chat lasts about 20 minutes and can accommodate nine teenagers at a time. EHYT ry supports the discussions by using the Hubu® method (questionnaire). The teenagers can engage in private conversations with employees whenever they need to. Moreover, EHYT ry organises regularly theme days on topics in which the teenagers are interested.

• The chat visitors decide the topic of the chat. Topics are related to issues of health, relationships and dating, hobbies, home and school.
