Forensic Mental Health & Wellbeing

The Spectrum 'Forensic Mental Health & Wellbeing' arm is lead by Paul Gullon-Scott, who has rapidly become one of the UK's leading specialists in this field. Paul is currently providing consultancy with a range of organisations and institutions,  regularly publishes articles and podcasts addressing mental health and wellbeing for Digital Forensic Investigators, and is active in ongoing research and policy development in this area.

 

The work we do through this part of Spectrum focuses on understanding and improving support for those who work within forensic services and experience vicarious trauma as a result, or who face other role-related mental health challenges. There is overlap with the wider work from Spectrum in that research indicates at least 20% of DFI's are neurodivergent, and we are involved in research exploring rates, presentation and support needs linked to secondary trauma and stress in neurodivergent staff working in digital forensic settings.

​

Spectrum provides consultancy to organisations and companies seeking to develop tailored wellbeing policies and mental health support services for their employees. Current core focus of work is with Digital Forensic Units and the Digital Forensic Investigators who work within those units, but the work undertaken is applicable to wider services working in related fields. 

​

We also deliver workshops and similar training events linked to mental health & wellbeing for DFI's and related professions. These are advertised and accessible to book via our Forthcoming Courses page.
