Super Simple Sleep is run by an ex police officer who I’m proud to call a friend.

In this #MMHAW24 I want to share something incredible she’s offering with another expert in the field 🩷

For me it’s always been about collaboration, working together to make life better for police officers and staff everywhere.
Grateful for the support from Martha & Sharon, from the very beginning 💜

Since #MMHAW23 we have been busy!
20 officers/staff in policing have received training thanks to Martha Sercombe & Sharon making them Perinatal & Infant MH Champions. Helping them to support their respective forces in supporting #ParentsInPolicing 💙
#BetterTogether

Blood, sweat and tears have gone into Blue Minds. I am grateful for a fantastic team around me.
As well as writing national guidance we are currently developing a training package specific to policing with ScottMair Pmhtrainingcic Sarah Mair to deliver to all forces.
#MMHAW24

The Blue Minds team are proud of all the work we’ve done/ are doing to support officers/staff in policing. Supported by National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) Police Federation & Staff Unions we’ve written guidance to support forces on how to support their people, updated version being released soon!
