Being "Possimistic" and how we can turn the tide on community Violence
Episode 17, with Chief Inspector Grant Marcus & Jo Leverett.
In this powerful episode of Stronger Together, host Tanya O'Shea is joined by two formidable local advocates: Chief Inspector Grant Marcus from the Queensland Police Service and Jo Leverett, Chair of the Advocacy Committee for the Zonta Club of Bundaberg.
Together, they tackle the confronting reality of rising violence in our communities, from the use of weapons to the impact of drugs like ice. However, the conversation shifts from despair to action. The trio explores the critical need for youth-led peer education, the challenges of policing "ghosting" and digital abuse, and the importance of teaching conflict resolution skills to the next generation.
In this episode, you will learn:
- Real-world trends: What police are seeing regarding weapons, drugs, and elder abuse.
- Home Safety: Practical tips to secure your home, including "sneak breaks" and CCTV.
- The "Possimistic" Mindset: A new term coined in this episode describing the balance of concern for current statistics with positivity for future change.
- 16 Days of Activism: Details on the inaugural community walk and the symbolic "Ringing of the Bells".
Resources:
- If you need help, Lifeline offers 24/7 support at 13 11 14.
- Connect with Zonta Club of Bundaberg on social media for event details.
