Abstract: Emergency responders face stressful and traumatic challenges which can cause significant mental health problems, including anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress. These conditions can reduce the capacity of emergency services to serve and protect their communities. The UK’s National Police Wellbeing Service adopted an evidence-based approach to building the resilience of its officers and staff to deal with major traumatic events as well as everyday stressors. The stress and trauma-informed care programme are being rolled out nationally. The programme includes education for officers and staff, supervisor training and a stepped trauma intervention model designed to reduce distress and trauma.
