Soldiers & Sirens Built for cops, prison officers, firefighters and veterans who are sick of soft platitudes and clinical waiting rooms.

We do not pull punches, and we assume you are capable, not broken. Radical responsibility, and hard strategies you can actually use.

📖 Stories of policing from the perspective of a naive 22yr old 🚔 🚓 👮‍♀️

I started policing at 22yrs of age. I came from a family who worked hard to send me to a private school and then I worked hard to go to UWA and do my Bachelor of Psychology.

Being out on the streets of West Metro was a shock to the system 😲 and a confronting realisation of my own privilege.

Here are my stories -

☕️ Coffee 📚 Education 😌 Float

What a huge few days it's been! Since deciding to throw myself 100% back into Soldiers & Sirens I've been constantly reminded of our amazing community 👏

Our two coffee groups ☕️ are full of mateship, genuine support, and laughter 😃 🥰

And the WA Community of Practice is a powerhouse of clinicians searching for ways to transform mental health care to see actual change so our multi-uniform community can thrive 🤩
Thanks to Dr Richard Magtengaard for connecting everyone over the years 🙏

And then I went for a float 💧 🚿 because it clears my mind, relaxes my system and sometimes is the place great ideas 💡 turn up.

Enjoy your weekends 🥰

Yesterday we worked with the phenomenal LORELEI l Builder of Unmissable Brand Worlds 🙌

Soldiers & Sirens 🚨 started off as a counselling service, but since Osborne Park closed we've been a little bit lost about who we are 🤷‍♀️

But oh baby...something absolutely amazing is emerging from the ashes...stick around for the transformation 🔥

aka How Service impacts relationships ❤️

"When I get home I don't talk to my family because I want to protect them" ✋️

You've seen things you never want inside your front door. You want home to be safe, clean, and untouched by the job. 🚔

Your family doesn't need to know the story. But they need to know your state. 😞

When we shut down to shield them 🛡 our loved ones might not feel protected 👎they might feel shut out.
Humans are wired to read nonverbal cues. If we're buzzing, tense or numb, our families pick up on the static. 🥺

Here's some things to try:
1. State the state, not the story. 👄
2. Establish a decompression ritual. 🚶‍♂️
3. Use a shared traffic light system. 🚥
4. Name the instinct directly: "I want to protect you from the ugliness of my job, but I don't want to shut you out of my life".

aka Behind the Scenes.

Today Danielle and Nikki met Hon. Hannah Beazley MLA, Minister for Local Government; Disability Services; Veterans; Volunteering; Youth; and Gascoyne.

While Minister Beazley has served proudly as the Member for Victoria Park since 2021 and in the WA Cabinet for nearly three years, she has recently picked up the Veterans portfolio. With a strong background across small business, government policy, and community advocacy, she brings fantastic energy to the role.
We had a great introductory discussion about the issues facing our community and look forward to working closely with the Minister to champion the needs of our local veterans and their families. 🇦🇺🪖
Thank you to the Minister and her team for their time!

Today Founder and Managing Director Danielle, Board Chair Nikki, and Board Secretary Trevor attended the Police Remembrance Day ceremony at the Joondalup Police Academy.

We paid tribute to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, some of whom were our friends, colleagues, and squad mates 💙💔

As an organisation whose main purpose is to stop su***de in the multi-uniform community we did notice that su***de was the silent one in the room.

Those officers names were not read out as part of the honour roll and their names are on a completely separate memorial wall.

We understand.
Initially su***de was a sin, then a crime, then we thought there was a contagion effect...and now... it's something we're still scared to fully acknowledge as a society.
But those men and women also served, and they still died in service, and perhaps because of it.

We're getting there.
But we're not there yet.
❤️💙💔💚🖤

PTSD Criterion C - Avoidance

One of the biggest things that crops up in PTSD is avoidance.
🫣
It makes sense we want to avoid anything and everything about that incident to keep ourselves emotionally safe. 🙃
But then..
How do we ever heal? 🌟

The best way to stop running from something is to turn around and face it.

But you might need:
Tools (what mental health professionals call Scaffolding)
An Army (all your support people)
And some grit, a deep breath, and going into the breach 🫡

You've done hard things before.
You got this 💪

🪖🚔 You may have spent weeks, months or even years getting IN to uniform service.
📚 You studied 💪 You got fit 😍 You dreamed about this amazing career 👏

Now you want to get out.
You're terrified 😨
It's not just a job, it's your identity.
So how the hell do you do it?

If you know what you want to do next, finding a bridge 🌉 might help you move from this place to the next.
Take small steps 🚶‍♀️ 😌
Be kind and patient 😇 with yourself.

It took time to get in. It might just take time to get out.
You got this.

😞 Laying in bed at night next to someone who doesn't talk? 👄
💔 Desperate to understand and help but have no clue what's going on?

PTSD can show up as a Detatched Protector 🪖 mode.
He helps us cope with emotionally distressing scenes on the frontline, he keeps us contained in war 😟

But he's hard to shift when you get home 🏡 and your family wants warmth and connection 🫂

But there is hope 🙏 Understanding is the first step.
❤️🤍💙🖤
