Unhelpful family systems, failure of utilizing adequate parenting skills and glamorized advertisements made it easier for women to progress through the stages of addiction frequently than men around the world. Above 100 students and professionals participated in the seminar. Fatima Hope Psychological Center collaborated in the success of the event.
