Sergeant Stuart Charlesworth is a sergeant with the Greater Manchester police and in 2012 was exposed to one of the worst critical incidents a police officer could attend. He was a supervising sergeant on the 18th September 2012 when two of his constables were ambushed and murdered. It took Stuart 4 years to seek help for his mental health and he tells us his story along with how stigma contributed to this delay in help-seeking and the importance of early intervention. He is also a Churchill Fellow and is waiting to come to Victoria Police as part of his research.
