Volunteer Police Cadet Scheme Celebration Nev Kemp, QPM Forensic Marking Kits Fundraising in Surrey Heath Introducing Peter Hills The Dog Section On a Light Note A Reflection? Spirituality in the Service Religious Festivals Chaplaincy Matters The Surrey Police Chaplains’ Newsletter Welcome to the latest issue of Chaplaincy Matters which will include a feature on mental health in our communities and the impact this has on the workload of officers. We also know that pressure in the force can adversely affect the mental health of those we support in our chaplaincy work. A young woman called Liv has written an excellent blog about her own mental health difficulties. Her blog details how the police have helped, and in some cases ways in which they have not been so helpful, but above all it is a positive piece that praises the force for what they do. There are some more fine words from the pen of John Sutherland, celebrations of achievements, some news about Surrey Police initiatives including details from Anna of a successful Surrey Heath fundraising event and a list of multi-faith religious festivals for July and August. Patrick has recounted about his trip to the House of Commons to celebrate the Volunteer Police Cadet Scheme and Peter has written a personal piece with some background on his experiences. Please do let me have something personal about yourself, if you wish, or any events/thoughts that you would like to share. Every blessing, Amanda June 2018 Issue No. 2 June 2018 July 2018 Liv’s insightful blog entitled ’Mental Health Crises and the Emergency Services - Helping you Help Me’ can be found via the link below. In her own words “From a police perspective, if an officer is required to sit for many hours in a waiting room, A&E department or private place until mental health care can be put in place, this takes officers away from the street and from responding to other emergencies. From an individual perspective, to be in crisis and faced with police officers can be incredibly traumatic. However, the duty of the police to protect life means that there will always be times when police become involved in responding to mental health emergencies”. https://fightingtoliv.wordpress.com/ **************************************************************** *** Liv’s Blog *** Broken
