Description

Mental health is increasingly becoming the leading health concern, which is also evident in the rising number of police interventions. It is estimated that the British Police officers spend 20-40% of their time responding to mental health related calls and incidents. Hence, it is becoming increasingly more important to learn how to interact with a person in crisis with respect and dignity towards those involved. The Respect to Protect initiative addresses this urgent need.

Goals

  • Develop comprehensive training programmes informed by in-depth analysis of the real-world needs of security and protection personnel. Trainings will be designed based on real practitioner needs, identified in close collaboration with experts. They will be available in e-learning and in-person formats, in consortium languages. The scope will cover both intervention scenarios and psychological support for security practitioners.
  • Foster respectful treatment and effective responses towards individuals experiencing mental health crises during professional interventions.
  • Strengthen mental health awareness and resilience among professionals involved in citizen protection and security.
  • Promote innovative training solutions across partner countries and at the EU-wide level.

PPHS role in Respect to Protect

  • Contributing to research and co-creation of training methodologies and materials.
  • Developing and refining e-learning content tailored to Polish security professionals.
  • Leading capacity-building activities, including workshops and pilot trainings.
  • Support Designing and implementing outreach, advocacy, and sustainability strategies to ensure the project's long-term impact.

    Przemysław Dobrzyński

    Starszy Specjalista ds. Komunikacji

    Dołączyłem do Platformy w listopadzie 2017 roku. Przez długi czas byłem odpowiedzialny za realizację krajowych i europejskich projektów związanych z bezpieczeństwem. W związku z dynamicznym rozwojem PPBW oraz powstaniem Działu Komunikacji, zająłem się promocją i upowszechnianiem rezultatów naszych działań.

    Obecnie koordynuję komunikację projektów finansowanych przez UE z obszaru bezpieczeństwa. Do moich obowiązków należy również zarządzanie kanałami online PPBW oraz wspieranie zespołu w bieżących pracach.

    Posiadam szeroki zakres umiejętności, który pozwala mi realizować różnorodne zadania, takie jak tworzenie treści (teksty, zdjęcia, wideo), planowanie strategii komunikacyjnych i procesów, budowanie społeczności i relacji, a także administrowanie platformami online.

    Przemyslaw Dobrzynski

    Senior Communication Specialist at the Polish Platform for Homeland Security

    I’ve been working at PPHS since November 2017. For a long time, I was responsible for implementing both international and national security projects. As PPHS developed and the Communication Department was established, I was promoted to a role focused entirely on communication.

    I currently serve as the Communication & Dissemination Manager for EU-funded security projects. My responsibilities also include managing the online channels run by PPHS and supporting the team with ongoing tasks.

    I have a broad set of skills, enabling me to handle a variety of tasks such as content creation (texts, photos, videos), communication and process planning, community and relationship building, as well as managing online platforms.
