The Backup Buddy Police Support app is for members of Halton Regional Police Service, designed to help with mental health issues. The App covers a range of problems faced by members in the Police service, such as anxiety, stress, PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), depression, eating disorders, self-harm and more. It gives practical advice and support on how officers can maintain good mental health, spot warning signs for themselves and others, plus advice on how to get help for themselves and colleagues. There are specific pathways mapped for help and support within Halton Regional Police Service, including 24hr support for officers and staff. The App also includes members' own stories which users can relate to, leading to feeling less isolated. General mental health tips are provided, as well as a directory of Useful Contacts and we have a facility to share your story - to help reduce the stigma in others. WARNING The Backup Buddy App reduces mental health stigma! ---
