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.
