The South Eastern Region Wellbeing office hosted a Sworn officer & Police Liaison Officer Reflection and Growth Day at the Volunteer Marine Rescue Centre on the Gold Coast today. 75 PLO's and police officers, primarily those involved in Crime Prevention and Cultural Liaison roles partook in a positive and productive day involving a range of wellbeing activities. BLUEHOPE was invited to provide lunch, and a small part of our team in Brad and Heidi whipped up some burgers for the troops. They had a little help from Mitch and Macca in the burger prep, but a special shout out to the Volunteers in Policing (VIP's) whose experience in catering events is second to none. No one from BLUEHOPE was getting near the service table, and the VIP's took the burgers to the next level bringing along beetroot , avo, onion and pickles to really "fancy things up." After the VIP's had cleaned everything up after lunch it was unanimously decided they're welcome on any future road trips 😊 Brad also had the opportunity to have a quick chat to the attendees on managing mental health, accessing support options, all with our usual message of " please speak up" 😊
