Edukacja medialna, reklama, a świadoma profilaktyka – zapobieganie sytuacjom trudnym i samobójstwom w młodszej grupie wiekowej
Niniejszy artykuł stanowi konkluzję rozważań dotyczących edukacji medialnej w perspektywie przeciwdziałania sytuacjom trudnym. W ostatnim czasie jest to tematyka bardzo istotna. Wiele osób nie ma świadomości na temat zagrożeń, które są związane z używaniem substancji niebezpiecznych, jakimi są narkotyki czy dopalacze. Użytkownicy nie znają składu substancji oraz produktów, które często spożywają np. okazjonalnie na imprezach. Często dochodzi do tego, że tracą oni zdrowie bądź życie na skutek przyjmowania substancji nieznanego pochodzenia. Częstym zjawiskiem jest to, że sytuacja trudna może skończyć się dla jednostki tragiczne. Brak możliwości poradzenia sobie z otaczającymi problemami często determinuje to, że osoba próbuje popełnić samobójstwo. Warto zaznaczyć, że samobójstwo jest zjawiskiem wieloaspektowym, gdyż nie ma jednej przyczyny, która warunkuje doprowadzenie do takiego stanu rzeczy. Artykuł ma wymiar teoretyczno-praktyczny, związany ze zwiększaniem świadomości na temat zagrożeń współczesnego świata.

Social prevention as an activity to intensify mental resilience

Preventive activities prevent emerging social problems, using various methods and tools for work. This article will introduce the idea of conducting social prevention using paintball and survival, as tools for therapeutic work. Social prevention based on the elements of survival has the nature of recreational activities that prepare participants to take action in difficult conditions and to look for ways to deal with their own weaknesses. In research on strengthening mental resilience, I adopt the concept of grounded theory, based on interviews and participant observation. Social prophylaxis with elements of paintball and the art of survival has features that strengthen mental resilience, teach self-confidence and persistence. Movement prophylaxis uses human potential, energy, and verve to make the best use of these elements in the practical experience of life. Physical activity causes positive changes in human functioning and teaches how to react to difficult situations. The aim of the article is to provide research knowledge on the strength of mental resilience from paintball players who organize preventive measures. The developed materials will be used to build an alternative vision of spending free time for children, adolescents, and their parents.
