## Resource

Detective Bree Sonter reveals how Queensland police officers once struggled in silence with severe mental health crises, often too ashamed to seek help for fear of career damage. With up to 20% suffering from depression and PTSD rates soaring, burnout and isolation became tragically common — even leading to officer suicides. But change is coming: a new $5.5 million Cop Care helpline, backed by the Queensland Police Union and government, offers 24/7 peer support to catch distress early and save lives — because more officers die by suicide than in the line of duty.
