Health & Prevention
The Monaco Red Cross is actively involved in promoting health and prevention, particularly among young people and in schools.
Impact of Backpack Weight on Spinal Health
One of our flagship initiatives teaches Year 6 pupils about the effects of carrying heavy backpacks on their spinal health. The sessions raise awareness of potential issues such as scoliosis, lower back pain and spinal deformities.
Oral Hygiene
The CRM also promotes oral hygiene by distributing eco-friendly kits — including a cup, bamboo toothbrush and organic toothpaste — in nurseries and primary schools. These are accompanied by fun, interactive workshops on tooth brushing and handwashing.
“Alcohol and Drugs” Prevention
The general public — and teenagers in particular — are made aware of the risks linked to addiction, HIV and nightlife through prevention workshops designed to highlight potential dangers during festive events and social gatherings.
These initiatives reflect the Monaco Red Cross’s commitment to promoting healthy lifestyles and reducing health risks through education and awareness-raising.
