IJANIKI POLICE STATION, LAGOS STATE.
Police Officers are at the fore front in maintaining law and order in any society, they play a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of lives and property and keeping the peace in the city. They are also exposed to life threatening situations in the line of duty and can succumb to pressure resulting from the hazards of their work. In the long run, this affects their mental health leading to issues such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicide in the worst case scenario. The Police Station in Ijaniki Lagos State was another beneficiary of the MMF workshop in early October 2022.
The Police officers in attendance were taught on anger management, stress management, remaining mentally fit, and suicide prevention among other things.
The workshop was well received as the attendees were all thankful for the knowledge gained and called for the facilitators to come back on a regular basis as they were deeply impacted by what they were taught. Most of the Officers attested to the fact that they have made new decisions as result of what they learnt and will put it to work in helping others.
