National Prevention Week, observed from May 12-18, 2024, serves as a vital public education platform dedicated to preventing substance use and promoting positive mental health. This annual event engages communities across the country in raising awareness about substance misuse and mental health issues, showcasing the effectiveness of evidence-based prevention programs. By involving communities, National Prevention Week highlights the importance of implementing strategies that address these critical public health concerns. One of the primary purposes of National Prevention Week is to foster partnerships and collaborations with federal agencies and national organizations committed to improving public health. These collaborations enhance the dissemination of quality prevention resources and publications, ensuring that effective strategies reach those in need. The event underscores the significance of community involvement in addressing substance misuse and promoting mental well-being. Eric Kennel, the executive director of Compass Mark, has been instrumental in raising awareness and taking action for individuals suffering from substance misuse and other addictions. As National Prevention Week concludes, Kennel emphasizes the importance of recognizing the signs of substance misuse, providing support to those affected, and accessing available services. His insights highlight the collective effort required to combat addiction and support recovery, reinforcing the crucial role of community and organizational initiatives in fostering a healthier society.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Meet our Guest Steve (widely known as ‘Lobby’ - a proud Lancastrian) Thornton, is a retired Metropolitan Police Officer, having completed 30+ years, and has been working as a Civilian Senior Firearms Instructor for the last 5 years. Recent studies have shown that 1 in 4 Police Officers/Staff/Volunteers will experience mental illness and 1 in 5 will suffer from PTSD or Complex PTSD. Steve like myself is on a mission to not just bring more awareness around this important issue but to ensure the frontline get the support they deserve. Steve says: “My passion is the wellbeing of my colleagues; serving and retired as well as the families behind them who are often overlooked when it comes to welfare support.” Starting as a Cadet in 1982, Lobby joined the job in 1983 and began working in busy Inner London before transferring to SO19, the Met’s Firearms Unit in 1995. He then worked as an Operational Firearms Officer and is a National Police Firearms Instructor. Lobby is an experienced Post Incident Support Program Selected Instructor, a Welfare Coach for the Police Firearms Officers Association, an Ambassador for Police Care UK, a TRiM Manager, and a Founder member of the National Prevention of Police Suicides Group. Lobby is a very proactive and forthright Wellbeing Champion, working tirelessly on behalf of colleagues within the Met and elsewhere. Lobby like myself is keen to give the frontline the best care possible. Lobby set up Trojan Wellbeing in 2020 as a result of ongoing work supporting both colleagues and their families experiencing difficulties. It is widely recognised that mental health support is not as helpful as it could be from many senior managers, and there is an ever-growing need for Mental Health First Aid training to recognise the symptoms; as well as learning about how to signpost those seeking help. Trojan Wellbeing aims to provide MHFA trained officers throughout the forces, who will learn to proactively spot early warning signs and have the confidence to start a conversation with those who appear to be struggling. This in turn will create a wide-reaching peer support network and proactively supply support swiftly and accurately. Courses available TRiM - Trauma Management’ dealing with colleagues following a traumatic incident. Mental Health Fitness Screening - Self Awareness is key to a healthy life. Mental Health First Aid Training – MHFA England Instructor. Trojan Wellbeing Facebook community provides peer support access to colleagues going through similar experiences.
