Romania has introduced several initiatives aimed at child protection and addiction prevention. Early efforts focused on socio-emotional education to combat bullying and addiction, with programs like ‘Să fim prieteni – Fără bullying’ implemented across 277 kindergartens to improve teacher preparedness. Additionally, the ‘Prevenția începe în relație’ campaign was launched to emphasize the importance of trust and empathy in prevention.

Following these educational initiatives, the Ministry of Investments and European Projects announced a €2.26 million funding call to support addiction prevention and treatment. This allocation is intended for the construction, modernization, or rehabilitation of mental health centers in the Bucharest-Ilfov region, covering medical equipment and digital solutions.
