Episode 66 – People in Crisis: Mental Health Intervention

After throwing out a cheeky challenge to our listeners to either send us love or completely roast us, Damo and Schultzy were stoked to get almost 10 messages – with 4 of them giving us a light-hearted ribbing (we can take it!), and the rest showing solid support for the podcast. But more than that, you legends also sent through some cracking suggestions for future topics. In this episode, we give a few long-overdue shoutouts and work our way through all your messages, before diving deep into one that really hit home. One listener, who’s had her own battles with mental health, shared how much she appreciates the way we talk openly about those challenges in the job. Her story – including how she ended up writing thank-you letters to the police who helped her during some tough times – sparked this week's main topic. We get real about mental health in policing: the toll it takes, the moments that stick with us, and how we’ve tried to handle it all. It’s honest, raw, and full of those Two Ordinary Cops insights that you’ve come to expect.
