How we help

Policing can expose you to experiences that stay with you long after the shift ends, affecting how you feel, how you cope, and how you live your life. Whether you are serving, retired, a police staff member, or a volunteer, and you have experienced harm as a result of your role, we're here for you. You might also be here because you're concerned about someone else; a colleague, partner, friend, or family member. We can help you too.

Find the help you need

The effects of harm don't always show themselves straight away. They can surface as any manner of symptoms ranging from: stress, anxiety, sleep problems, relationship difficulties, or financial strain, sometimes long after the events that caused them.
You may not even connect what you're feeling to your work, and that's completely understandable.
Recognising that connection is often the first and most important step toward finding the right help. If you're not sure where to start, exploring the common symptoms of harm can help you begin to make sense of what you're going through. From there, you might decide to send us an enquiry or reach out to one of the other organisations we mention.

Self Care

If you're looking for ways to help yourself in the meantime, or you'd like to share something helpful with someone else, we offer practical self-care tips recommended by our trained professionals that may help ease some of what you're experiencing straight away.

How we can help

When you're ready for professional support, we're here. Our trained professionals can provide psychological and financial help, as well as specialist guidance for those considering or managing a move away from the service. You don't have to wait until things feel unbearable, reaching out early is always okay.

Helping someone else

We also understand that harm in policing doesn't only affect the individual in the policing role. If you're here because you want to support a partner, family member, friend, or colleague, you'll find dedicated information and guidance to help you do that well.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you send us an enquiry. Just being here is a great place to start, and we’re really glad you are.
