We were contacted by a police spouse who was at her wits’ end. Her husband had changed. He wasn’t sleeping, he snapped at the kids, and the easy laugh she loved was gone. She knew the job was tough, but this was different. She was scared she was losing him.

Understanding the Signs of PTSD
This is the sort of story we hear all the time. At the Blue Hope Foundation, we sat with her, listened, and helped her see the signs for what they were—post-traumatic stress. We guided her through what to do next and made sure she and her husband weren’t left facing it alone. Because she reached out, he’s still here today.
The Importance of Early Intervention
Police families often notice the warning signs of PTSD long before anyone else. With the right support, they can step in before things reach a crisis. That’s what our work is about—early help, real hope, and ultimately preventing police suicides.
The Ride for Hope: Making a Difference
The Ride for Hope is how we make sure this support keeps going. Every kilometre cycled is for families like hers. Every dollar raised means another police worker and their loved ones get the help they need.
