Ep 152 - Mental Health In Security Part 2

In a world where the threat environment is volatile, and tensions are high, security teams are under more pressure than ever—facing verbal aggression, physical incidents, and the constant need to stay vigilant. But mental strain doesn’t always announce itself until performance drops, conflict escalates, or someone quietly burns out.

In this, the second part of our exploration of mental health in security, we continue our discussion with Simon Brown-Greaves about how security companies can protect the mental health of their staff without sacrificing operational capability. In the last episode, we covered the biggest mental-health stressors impacting security professionals right now, as well as early indicators of burnout, cumulative stress injury, and trauma exposure.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• A practical post-incident support approach (what to do—and what to avoid)
• Training priorities for guards, supervisors, and leadership
• How to build a culture where support is used early, not after crisis

If you lead security teams—or you work the front line—this conversation will give you practical steps you can apply immediately.
