“It does affect your family. My wife has had to watch me change. She has known one person and then suddenly a couple years ago I changed completely to being this soulless person sitting there.”

Trauma doesn’t just affect the person who is living with it. Families can carry the weight too.

Everyday life can be full of unexpected triggers for someone living with PTSD and when trauma resurfaces, it doesn’t just impact the person who served - it ripples through the whole family.

Most people assume that once they have made a Will, their children will eventually inherit their estate. Unfortunately, life is rarely that straightforward.

A common arrangement is for everything to pass to the surviving partner or spouse when someone dies.

While this seems sensible, it can leave the family's wealth vulnerable to events that occur many years later.

The good news is a properly drafted Will can protect your assets for the next generation.

For advice, members of the police family can access a free Will consultation through our partner Harvey Howell Solicitors > https://www.harveyhowell.co.uk/

Leaving policing should feel like a new chapter, not a struggle.

But for many veterans, it can feel like losing a part of who they are. The routine changes. The purpose shifts. And for some, the impact of what they’ve experienced doesn’t leave when the job does.

Living with PTSD or the effects of trauma isn’t always visible. It can show up in quiet moments, disrupted sleep, low mood, or feeling on edge when life is meant to feel calmer.

If this feels familiar, you’re not alone and you don’t have to carry it on your own.

We understand the realities of policing and life after service. Support is available and we’re here when you’re ready > https://www.policecare.org.uk/ptsd-awareness-month/

“I’ve always had a box in my head that I could lock. But then that box started opening and, two years ago, it stopped working completely,” he says.

John had a long career in the Metropolitan Police and was one of the first officers on scene to the 7/7 bombings in London.

It wasn’t until 2023 the trauma he experienced during his career, caught up with him and John needed our help.

Policing harm doesn’t retire.

For many in the policing family, the impact of trauma doesn’t end when they leave the Job - its effects can last long into later life, with many living with PTSD and needing ongoing support.

This (27 June), join to help raise awareness and vital funds, and show that those affected, whether serving or veteran, are not alone

It doesn’t have to be big. Walking the dog, a quiet stroll close to home, or time outdoors with others - every step matters.

Team Police Care UK completed their Three Peaks Challenge in the space of 24 hours on June 6 and have so far raised more than £3,000 for our work mitigating the impact of harm experienced in policing.

The team faced challenging weather and difficult terrain, including snow-capped peaks, as they tested themselves in support of members of the police community living with the physical and psychological impact of their work.

It’s important to look out for each other — not just on the Job, but afterwards too.

You might notice someone isn’t quite themselves. They may seem more irritable, quieter than usual, or on edge. Maybe they’ve stepped back from conversations or are finding it harder to sleep.

For those who’ve worked in UK policing, it’s worth recognising that they may be living with the impact of trauma.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust that instinct.

A simple conversation can make a real difference — and remind someone they don’t have to face things alone.
