As a Mental Health and Wellbeing Officer for the four Specialist Crime commands across London, I have over 27 years of experience in the police service, including various roles in intelligence, investigations, protection, and planning. I am passionate about breaking down the stigma attached to mental health, especially within the emergency services, and I am a firm advocate of preventative and proactive measures.I have multiple credentials in mental health awareness, suicide prevention, intervention and postvention, and I use my skills and knowledge to raise awareness, provide training, host events, and support my colleagues and the wellbeing group. I also represent and signpost my colleagues to relevant and useful services and organisations, both internally and externally. Additionally, I volunteer as a Communications and Fundraising Officer for PTSD999, a charity that helps emergency service workers with PTSD, and as an Advisory Board Member for R;pple, a suicide prevention charity. I am committed to making a positive difference in the mental health and wellbeing of the emergency service community.
