The meeting was attended by Mr. Abbas Hamadah, Executive Director of the Society, Mr. Essam Al-Khayyat, Society member and head of the “Mulhamoon” program, as well as Dr. Ahmed Ajeeb, a psychologist at “Ta’afi.”
During the meeting, ways to enhance cooperation and strengthen joint programs aimed at supporting recovered individuals and enabling their positive and sustainable integration into society were discussed. The two sides also reviewed a set of new initiatives targeting those who have completed recovery programs, which aim to contribute to the continuity of recovery and achieve financial and living stability. These initiatives include specialized programs starting with training and culminating in employment, in addition to organizing regular courses and lectures on personal skills and entrepreneurship, building on previous successful experiences between the two parties.
Following the meeting, a friendly gathering was held with recovered individuals residing at the association’s headquarters, during which attendees exchanged conversations and shared their opinions and feedback. In his speech, Al-Qusaibi expressed his appreciation for the efforts of the recovered individuals and their determination to continue on the path of recovery, emphasizing the Bahrain Dialogue Society’s commitment to supporting initiatives that promote their integration into social life. He also highlighted the Society’s dedication to collaborating with various companies and institutions to provide training and employment opportunities that empower them to continue their journey with confidence and stability.
For his part, Sheikh Hassan expressed his deep pride in the strategic partnership with the Society, noting that this collaboration serves as an important support for the journey of recovered individuals and directly contributes to their empowerment and positive integration into society.

It is noteworthy that the “Mulhamoon” program is one of the outcomes of the collaboration between the Bahrain Dialogue Society and the Addiction Recovery Association. The program aims to rehabilitate and empower recovered individuals to integrate into society, providing them with various skills, professions, and trades. This contributes to freeing them from the scourge of drugs and its negative effects, overcoming the challenges they face, and enabling them to become productive members of society, thus paving the way for a better future.
