Wellbeing

• Mental health includes our emotional, psychological and social wellbeing
• It affects how we think, act and feel
• Mental health problems are common but help is available
• People with mental health problems can get better and many recover completely

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Stress
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

We want our staff to be well both physically and mentally. Through providing training and care we help to make sure that we are there for when they need us.

TRiM is offered to personnel after exposure to significantly traumatic events. It is used widely and successfully used across UK emergency services and the military. Locally our colleagues at Hampshire Constabulary and  South Central Ambulance Service use it to support their staff.

We know that many of the people who work for us (operational and non-operational) will experience a mental health issue at some stage. Our Mental Health First Aiders help support our staff and guide them to get the appropriate support or simply be there until they feel ready to take those next steps.
