Bluelight PTSD Awareness: Supporting Veterans

The sessions focus on two main areas: recognizing PTSD and providing support to both veterans and members of the public who may come into contact with the police, and supporting police and Blue Light Service colleagues who have experienced trauma in their roles and need assistance. The project so far has been very successful as there is also a high rate of veterans who leave the Armed Forces and join Blue Light Services. We have seen a high rate in complete trauma due to this but veterans are able to apply high levels of skills to the services.

Who Dares Cares supports veterans transitioning into civilian life across the UK through security industry training and employment programs. Their skills bridging initiatives aim to enable fulfilling second careers.
