Authors : Kadri Hamza .

Abstract

Abstract This study explores the role of school media in raising awareness about addiction risks, a key responsibility of guidance counselors in middle and high schools. It examines how counselors help students understand themselves, their abilities, and their interests while preventing addiction through media-based guidance and counseling. Using a descriptive approach, the study surveyed 50 counselors from Algiers and Blida through structured interviews. Findings reveal that media sessions, both individual and group-based, have a significant impact on educating students about addiction risks, fostering self-awareness, and helping them overcome challenges. The study underscores the vital role of counselors in promoting informed decision-making and resilience among students.
