Consultant, Istanbul Addiction Academy, Türkiye

Since the early 2000s, I have been providing consultancy services within the justice system. I have worked as a project leader and consultant in numerous projects run by UNICEF and the European Union. By profession, I am an addiction specialist. I am one of the developers of the Research and Evaluation Form (ARDEF), which is used in Turkish prisons and probation institutions. This form identifies risks and needs, and it is administered to every individual entering the prison or probation system. As a result, it has generated data on millions of individuals.
In addition, I have developed numerous psychosocial programs for individuals in prisons and under probation. These programs are still in use in these institutions today. They include addiction intervention programs as well as personal development programs. I have also played a role in the development of programs targeting institutional staff.
