Our residential Psychological Wellbeing Programme (PWP) provides serving police officers and police staff with access to a multidisciplinary team of wellbeing experts. These include registered nurses, experienced counsellors and highly trained therapists.
These specialists combine their diverse skills with police-specific knowledge to support patients in managing symptoms of mild to moderate anxiety and depression, and to empower them with coping strategies for the future.
To be eligible to apply for this Programme, you must have signed up to contribute to the charity, and you should not be due to leave the force within six months of your application. The PWP is not appropriate for treating post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), we suggest speaking to your GP and local services if you need support with PTSD.
In your retirement you may be eligible to apply for a place on the Retired Wellbeing Programme (RWP).
We offer a wide range of classes led by our multidisciplinary team and specialist instructors.
Some examples include:
Our team will create a schedule which includes support classes and educational workshops, individual counselling, complementary therapies and access to our first class gym and pool facilities.
Counselling is provided by experienced counsellors and prioritises solution-focused brief therapy, an approach focussing on present issues and future goals. They will listen to you without judgement and can signpost you to additional services and therapies if necessary.
Complementary therapies are provided by trained therapists, and may include:
The PWP includes access to our high-quality facilities, which include:
This seven day residential programme is available to you in your retirement if you have received a formal diagnosis of mild or moderate anxiety and depression.
Patients will spend Monday to Friday participating in group workshops and activities, with the option of low-impact exercise classes (e.g., tai chi and yoga). They will also have the opportunity to access advice from our fitness team.
The weekend will be spent relaxing and reflecting in the safe and supportive environment provided by our Centres.
