World Resiliency Week 2024 – The Faces of Resilience
United Nations World Drug Day theme this year is… ‘The Evidence is Clear – Invest in Prevention!’
Building resilient communities starts with building resilient kids in resilient families, and substance use has no place in this vital arena.
There are tens of millions of ex-substance users, the majority who (by their own admission) barely escaped the ‘rabbit hole’ that is Drug Use – Along with this Recovery Alumni there are 100’s of millions of families and children who are wondering why three powerful protective, health and well-being maximising words are being erased from the Western culture lexicon?
Prevention, Sobriety and Abstinence.
This overwhelming silent majority are being ignored or (more often worse) mocked for wanting the very best health and mental health for their families and communities.
Told, directly or tacitly, that substance use is ‘normal’, relatively harmless and just ‘part of growing up’.
Who is driving this toxic agenda, and how did they get such traction in the Western Public Square? (That is not too difficult a question to answer, but you need to look for yourself.)
The faux faces of pop-culture cool are posters for this persona unravelling conduct and it’s time to change the lens.
Whitewashing these culture and community ‘wrecking balls’ is the sales pitch of ‘cool’. But it’s only selling harm! This Social Media driven game aims to hide the growing short and long-term harms from this toxic culture – and is online ‘noise’ is getting the all too easily attracted attention of every more easy to manipulate kids.
It’s time for a new lens.
This World Resiliency Day, start looking beyond the façade of social media and purported ‘fun’ to the faces that make communities stronger, safer and healthier – The Faces of Resilience.
