New Focus: Streeck Steps Up for Federal Collaboration on Addiction Issues
Federal Ministries to Collaborate Closely with Drug Czar Streeck - Commissioner Streeck, in charge of drugs, to collaborate closely with federal administrations
In his freshly minted role, Professor Dr. Hendrik Streeck is gearing up as the Federal Government’s Commissioner for Addiction and Drug Issues in Germany. This means tackling challenges related to addiction from coast to coast, and he’s already stressing the importance of teamwork with federal ministries.
Streeck views himself as a catalyst for dialogue among these various departments, musing on the "huge potential" of harmonizing the interests of various groups across regions. With the recent cabinet endorsement under his belt, courtesy of Warken’s suggestion, he's champing at the bit to make a difference.
When digital addiction is in question, Streeck isn't jumping at authoritarian solutions like banning cell phones in schools. Instead, he's vouching for education and health literacy: "A shocking amount of youngsters in Germany grapple with social media and other media," he said. These tools can be fun and preparing kids for their digital future, but it's crucial to learn the boundaries.
