Sgt Greg Dean is a 30-year police veteran currently working as a manager of Victoria Police’s Welfare Services who provide 24/7/365 confidential wellbeing support to all 20,000 Victoria Police as well as their immediate family. Greg was recently awarded the Sir Winston Churchill Fellowship that allowed him to travel to the USA, Canada and the UK to research and investigate early intervention into mental health in serving police and peer support for former police employees.
Today I met with Sgt. Greg Dean at PSPSA, Public Safety Peer Support Association 2019. We talked about peer support in Australia and how we can work together to help end the stigma of mental health issues among First Responders.
Sgt. Dean stated, “We’re about sharing and working together as a unified force to get rid of this beast” (Stigma).
