ABOUT THIS EPISODE
An introduction to Behind Blue Lines - a podcast exploring the emotional cost of trauma to our emergency services and those that love them. Gareth Davies, an ex-sergeant from London's Metropolitan Police, shares his own experience of trauma and the resulting impact on both himself and those closest to him. Gareth is certified in the ground-breaking research of Dr Brene Brown into topics including vulnerability, shame, courage and resilience, referencing these themes throughout the series.
The mission of Behind Blue Lines is to:
- Normalise the conversation around trauma.
- Let those affected by trauma know that they are not alone.
- To better equip our emergency service personnel and those that love them to ask for help.
The following episodes will include interviews with personnel from emergency services across the world, highlighting that whilst geography may change, the impact of trauma is global. Whilst every experience of trauma is unique, key themes throughout the the series include depression, PTSD and suicide.
