Episode 54 - Greg Dean

Описание: Senior Sergeant Greg Dean has turned some of the toughest moments on the job—investigating hundreds of fatal collisions and feeling the weight of compassion fatigue—into a heartfelt drive for real change in police mental health.


After steering Welfare Services and earning a Churchill Fellowship, he's pushed through early‑intervention legislation, launched Victoria's first residential wellbeing retreats for emergency services, and created a family wellbeing guide that lands in the inbox of every new recruit's next of kin. .


In this episode, you'll hear Greg's honest stories, practical tips on peer support, and why asking for help is a sign of strength.


Don't forget to visit the show notes for links to the Employee Assistance Program, peer networks, Greg's Churchill report, and more.
