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

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. 

Our Wellbeing team are here to support all our staff find the help they need, whether through external partners, such as the FireFighters Charity, or internal personalised support.  

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 are proactive at ensure our staff wellbeing is priority and have trained Mental Health First Aiders across the service. 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.
