Covid brought unprecedented challenges to policing, as it did to other emergency responders, key workers and their families across the UK. Our project reached out to help officers, staff and those in leadership to find resilience, to help them manage current challenges and to equip them for the future.

Easy read infographics for Covid19
Listening to the experiences of officers and decision-makers through our research, we produced resilience infographics; simple accessible material for guidance and awareness-raising on issues relating specifically to Covid19. These were shared on social media with the aim to reach as many people as possible to support police wellbeing at work as practically as possible. Many were transferable across other emergency response and key worker roles. Infographics include: dealing with anxiety and uncertainty, working in isolation, unique challenges and neurodiversity, creating mental space around adversity, help for those supporting others through Covid and grounding techniques.
In conversation...
Talking about resilience during Covid19 can be the most powerful way of supporting those who are experiencing this new and unchartered territory of working in a pandemic.
In a unique and exclusive interview with leading neuropsychologist Dr Rick Hanson, Jess Miller discussed the very latest advice on how to steer the policing brain for optimum resilience on the front line, and how leaders can build resilience through and from the Covid19 experience.
