How we can benefit your teams and force.
The latest Police Federation of England and Wales’ Pay and Morale Survey reveals significant challenges faced by police officers. Mental Health Concerns: 82% have experienced stress, low mood, or anxiety, with 93% attributing these issues to work. Workload and Staffing: 86% feel there are not enough officers to meet demands, and 64% report their workload is too high. Low Morale and Retention Issues: 22% of respondents plan to resign within the next two years. This worrying situation is replicated across all ranks as evidenced in the most recent Police Superintendents survey which describes a 'wellbeing crisis' amongst senior leaders.
Our unique biological well-being workshop equips officers to identify and alleviate chronic stress at the earliest opportunity, before it negatively impacts on their mental health. We provide early intervention and prevention through a half day session which helps to address and reverse stress before it reduces performance. Read here for more information
So why are police officers and staff so stressed? A lack of psychological safety is the number one cause of work related stress. In a half day workshop, we take teams though ISO 45003, psychological health and safety, upskilling them to feel and be safer in the workplace, and increasing team performance to resolve issues effectively. We also help each individual to increase their own resilience, leaving them better able to perform under pressure. Read here for more information
Why invest in this approach?
By increasing the well-being and psychological safety of teams, police forces are able to reduce the amount of attrition in these teams, preventing that loss of experience and the cost of further recruitment.
We have been at the sharpest end of policing, and witnessed the cost of ineffective interventions. We know what we provide will help and support your teams in your force.
Our 100% satisfaction rates show how our clients value our approach and recognise the financial, personal and performance benefits that we provide to law enforcement across the UK and in America.

What Law Enforcement have to say about us
Just a handful of comments from our work supporting your sector.
"Very comfortable with all of that. It helps I think that you understand police roles and pressures and it gives credibility. I often thought my stress levels are a key contributed to my lack of biological wellbeing and so this helps provide focus. Thank you."
"I'm very thankful that both of you came to the FBI in Clarksburg, West Virginia, USA and presented this topic. I wasn't aware that stress could take such a toll on one's health. This a topic that needs to be presented more and more to everyone. I'm now taking a serious look at my own health and the stress I have and I'm going to make changes. I really loved the Box Breathing and plan on incorporating it into my daily routine."
"Very interesting. The metaphors used to describe the biological effects of stress were very relatable and made it easy to understand the long term effects of stress on the body. A nice change from hearing about the mental health effects."
"There was a lot of useful information provided during this session, and the information was provided in a way that it was easy to understand. The examples provided helped to solidify the points being made. It was an excellent session. I believe everyone should attend this as there was a lot of information provided that is very helpful when it comes to stress management."
"I thought three and half hours was a long time for a training of this nature. But Zoe was very funny and made the time go fast. I think my team learned a lot from the training. Thank you!!"
Thank you for coming and delivering at the National Vetting Symposium, It was really useful and well received!
