Police Care UK - PTSD Awareness Month

11 June 2024

June is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) awareness month and Police Care UK is highlighting that 1 in 5 police officers may live with a form of PTSD as a result of their policing role, to remind you that we’re here if someone need us.

As well as vital research into Police PTSD and CPTSD, Police Care UK is the only national UK wide police charity delivering specialist trauma therapies and support to serving and former police officers, staff, volunteers, including their immediate families, who have been harmed as a result of their policing role.

Last year, 76% of those who came to us had a mental health concern, and of these, 52% had PTSD, CPTSD, or undiagnosed trauma.
