Who we are

The people who understand both sides of the radio

The traits that make someone good in a crisis can make the rotas, the paperwork and the recovery hard going. A lot of people have carried that on their own for too long.

We're a peer-led community. Most of what we know, we learned the hard way, and we pass it on without judgement.

DC Daley Jones and PC Alex Ware started the Alliance in February 2022, after going through diagnosis, medication and disclosure themselves. About 2,000 people are part of it now.
