Improving the wellbeing and resilience of police personnel
Thu, September 4, 5:30 to 6:45pm, Communications Building (CN), CN 2113Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel
Abstract
Absence due to physical injury, mental health, and poor wellbeing have increased in UK policing over the past decade. This panel, comprising researchers from the University of Huddersfield, will present a body of research focused on improving the wellbeing and resilience of police personnel. Focus will be on identifying common negative effects on wellbeing associated with specific policing roles (e.g. Family Liaison Officers, Disaster Victim Identifiers, Call Handlers, and Senior Investigating Officers), preventing and supporting the effect of assaults on police officers, the development of new support resilience approaches, and the need to encourage individuals to acknowledge that they need support and to access it if available.
