Our emotional support services are confidential. We offer non-judgemental and compassionate emotional support. Our team of welfare experts, specialist mental health professionals, and trained volunteers create a space where you feel safe to talk about things that are most affecting you. We also make time so we can think together about the options available to you.

Counselling is a talking therapy that involves a trained therapist listening to you and helping you find ways to deal with emotional issues.
You'll be encouraged to talk confidentially about your feelings and emotions with a trained therapist, who'll listen and support you without judging or criticising.
Funding is available to police forces where a serving police officer, staff, or volunteer requires in-patient mental health care. We do not provide direct funding to individuals, but rather cover the costs of the treatment where deemed clinically appropriate.
This includes when a police employee has been sectioned, or is about to be sectioned.
We provide access to an independent, confidential, and accessible careline for you to call for advice and support. Staffed by trained experts in practical and emotional wellbeing, anything you discuss with the confidential careline stays confidential.
