#Podcast Recommends from the commute:

1. “Gangster” The Story of Paul Massey.

Not only the rise a fall of Salford’s Mr Big but it also maps the highs and low of Salford and Manchester.

From the 1960s to today. Excellent investigation/oral history

2. Brixton: Flames on the Frontline
This happened in my lifetime but I’ve only known one side of the story.

This fantastic series puts together perspectives from several communities to give a wider perspective. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

At @3pillarsproject we know that prison isn’t working. Josie Bevan agrees.

The series challenges us to think about the purpose of the criminal justice system.

Something we seldom consider and should engage with.

Last this!
Light hearted but really engaging sessions on topics from the US of A.

If you’re any some knowledge, insights and some laughs along the way - this is one for you.

Bravo @greg_jenner and the team.

I’ve really been enjoying BBC Sounds new “Chill” playlists and channels as a way of just separating work and not work within the same space.

Perfect for wind down.

Here are some thoughts on #MentalHealthAwareness

I’m going to focus on:

1. Context of our people
2. What we can all do
3. Tips for leaders
4. Convergence with alcohol
5. Neurodiversity
6. The most precious thing: hope.

Let’s thread
Context.
We tend to focus on location, family etc

It’s also good to understand factors from growing up, family, poverty,

exposure to trauma/grief/violence/drug/alcohol misuse,

education completion/setting/needs.

Normalise getting into that detail and what to draw from it.
2. We all have a role in promoting positive approaches and engagement with #MentalHealthAwareness

- talk about mood
- take time off/out and say so
- create psychological safety to engage & declare challenges
- avoid slurs on mental health creeping in
- use Op SMART tools
BE KIND

Ok here we go the Defence Command Paper and the Army.

Here’s my own take which obviously doesn’t reflect policy or party lines etc.

Not sure how long this will be - but let’s go!
The IR (if you bleach out the politics and other bits) is a fantastic piece of work. It paints a bold vision of how to harness levers of National Power to deliver policy and strategic outcomes. Building on the work of fusion doctrine and breaks down barriers between Ministries.
The separation of National and Defence Strategy is, for me, a good thing. No more NSS and SDSR. Linked but not the same.

A blessing and a risk Defence more able to write how it will meet its objectives but crucially more accountable. Key will be freedoms, or not, from HMT.

Here are the top recommendations from the @CIPD report on how to support colleagues around the issues of increased drug and alcohol use through lockdown and the pandemic.

cipd.co.uk/knowledge/cult…
1. We currently have a zero tolerance policy on drugs and we’ve made big strides in modernising our approach to alcohol - but we can’t be complacent @4Alpha1 is here to help with signposting and support.
2. Prevention. We can’t view alcohol in isolation. It’s linked to depression, aggression, control, moderation, stress and wellbeing. “Drinking to cope” as @patsy_irizar highlighted.

One of my soldiers is leaving #ATDU this week on promotion. We talked a lot on mental health and #BlackLivesMatter

He is of a mixed race background and he made the following observations which are worth noting. (THREAD)
He grew up in an area of depravation in the 1980s. His mother and father suffered horrific racism from both black and white communities for the choice they made for love.

He attended school and “wasn’t black enough for those lads - and not white enough for the others”.
He lost his mother at a young age. Dad remarried to a South Asian family and the family now has proud religious and cultural heritage from that region.

An incredible journey.

He offered the following thoughts about Army life.

Today I was fortunate enough to sit on a board at APC Glasgow and thought I’d offer some views to recent twitter convos on the subject.
1. Board Composition. 1 x LE Colonel, 1 x WO1, 1 x non-RAC Major, 1 x Regtl CO 1 x E1 CO (that’s me) 2 x observers (Capt DE and Capt LE - RCMO). So what? This was a lot more diverse than I expected and made for a good mix of experience, experiences, perspectives and challenge!
2. Rigour. Contrary to ‘30 secs to scan’ we had a lot longer - probably 3/4 mins per book. Each book contains SJARS, career, quals and education summary. 3/4 mins is actually quite a lot of time. Especially when the board prep was so professional. Easy to read, well laid out etc.

‘Moderation’. What does that mean to you? How do you define it? Are you comfortable with how much, how often and the state you get in when you drink? If you’re curious why not read on. I’ll relate where I started from. #AlcoholAwarenessWeek #MentalHealthAwareness
I’m going to cover this in ‘5 Ages of Man’. That’s because I look back and think some of this is tied up in quite a toxic version of ‘masculinity’. It’s important to note that like many issues for me this was pre-mortem to the Army.
The Teenager. Like many my age I started drinking at about 14. Pubs, going out and at home. ‘Moderation’ in my house was a relative term and I look back now and alcohol was a problem from here on in. Lack of boundaries, lack of realisation and I built a BIG tolerance.
