Sarah's Tale: Hope for New Zealand's Police

Officer Sarah was an emblem of courage for her town. Yet, beneath the badge, the weight of traumatic incidents, fears, and daily stresses began to erode her spirit. Nights became restless, and memories from duty often haunted her days. She felt isolated, fearing that her vulnerabilities would be perceived as weakness.

That's when the Foundation stepped in.

Upon learning about Sarah's struggles, we quickly connected her with specialists who understood the unique challenges faced by police personnel. Through tailored programmes, she met others, realising she wasn't alone. Our resources gave her children insights into their mother's world, aiding their understanding and emotional well-being.

The Foundation's vision of Zero suicide struck a chord. Sarah knew many colleagues faced the same silent battles. Today, rejuvenated, Sarah has become a beacon for others, dismantling the barriers of silence.

Your contribution ensures that many more like Sarah find hope and support. Let's stand by our nation's bravest, ensuring a resilient and robust police force.

Support today. Empower our heroes. Build a brighter future.

More about us

We help New Zealand police officers and their families when someone gets hurt on the job—especially with mental injuries like PTSD.

Our work focuses on trauma, stress, and the long-term impacts of police service. We also help officers who have physical injuries.

We use laws like the Health and Safety at Work Act, Privacy Act, Accident Compensation Act, and the Employment Relations Act to protect their rights. This means we can guide injured police through the system—making sure they get the help and respect they deserve.

We are fully independent. We don’t get any money from the government. That means we can speak up, tell the truth, and stand by police families when others won’t.

We’re also a DPO—Disabled People’s Organisation—and follow the UN rules (called the UNCRPD) to make sure no one is left out, ignored, or treated unfairly.

Our goal is clear: no more police suicides. Ever.

One Laptop. One Life. One Chance  1 July 2025

Today, thanks to a generous $500 donation from Sally, we changed the trajectory of a life.

Her contribution was used through the Ima Project, our initiative supporting women connected to police workers—often the first to see signs of trauma. Through them, we reach those in crisis before it’s too late.

We purchased a refurbished laptop for a mentally injured police officer living with severe PTSD. She has lost her home, her income, and her support network. Cut off from ACC when her AEP provider stopped her cover, she was left with no way to contact legal aid, health providers, or even friends.

This laptop is now her lifeline.

Through the Ima Project, we stepped in—providing advocacy, restoring ACC support, and helping her connect with legal and mental health services. This is the first step on her path back to stability and work.

The Blue Hope Foundation exists to ensure mentally injured police workers are not abandoned. Grounded in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, we advocate for access to justice, equality, and real, practical help.

Police serve our communities. It’s time our systems served them too.

Thank you, Sally. Your donation made hope possible.
