On July 1, 2024, the "Prevention of Addiction" Commission took a more positive name aimed at Well-being and Prevention.
Objectives of the Commission
The aim of the commission is to promote well-being by avoiding any abuses, particularly for the target audience of young people1, but without restriction of other audiences. The achievement of this objective shall be implemented in such a way that the Commission:
1. Raises awareness among clubs in their district to support actions related to the theme
2. Collects and documents ongoing Rotary projects on this topic
3. Inspire clubs with a selection of projects
4. Support clubs and provide information on the topics concerned The promotion of well-being also involves strongly related themes, which should also be considered, such as: · Self-confidence · Social-emotional skills · Harassment · Violence · Addictions... Target audience Pitching for a young target audience 1. Adolescence is a privileged time to intervene preventively before mental pathologies worsen and become chronic in adulthood.
2. Addictions seem to be a major problem of our time, with manifestations that could not be more diverse.
3. Trying to avoid addictions is a perilous exercise if there is not an awareness that it involves the search for one's well-being by focusing one's activities and attention on rejuvenating interests: nature, sport, surpassing oneself, art, music, helping others... real life...
4. The mental health of adolescents is currently the subject of growing interest, as crises follow one another or overlap: climate emergency, unstable geopolitical situation, or health crisis following the Covid-19 pandemic. They lead to an increasing identification of mental disorders and make it possible to objectify the psychological difficulties of young people. The observation of a deterioration in the mental health of young people is shared throughout the world.
