These films have been developed to create awareness, spark debate and self-reflection.

'Meaning' which is the second film, in the series (the first being 'Purpose'), follows 'Jake', a mid-service response officer as he navigates his career. 

The film picks up on issues around the mental and physical demands of the job, hindrance stressors, and the impact on family life.

The film is accompanied by a wrap around from an experienced therapist who helps guide our thinking and breaks down what we see into some helpful themes and how we might think about and process them.

It is intended to help people watching think about what’s going on in their own lives and hopefully help them to spot any warning signs early, because quite often we will normalise these things and don’t see that cumulatively, they are starting to have an impact on us.

When this is launched, it will be supported by guidance from the National Police Wellbeing Service around how forces may wish to use it as a resource and how to help people get the most out of it.

It is intended to act as a platform to encourage officers and staff not only to be more self-aware but also encourage thinking and discussion on how systems and processes could work better to support officers and staff and to provide an opportunity for signposting and support.
