How Police Culture Impacts Mental Health: Perspectives from Retired Police Officers

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: A ‘macho’ police culture discourages police officers from discussing or seeking help for mental health struggles. Although mental health stigma remains prevalent, generational shifts are helping to foster more open and supportive attitudes. Peer-based support and everyday mental health resources — not just post-trauma — appear more effective in the long term.
