The Forensic Focus Investigator Well-Being Survey 2024 is closing at the end of the week. Please don’t miss this final opportunity to share your thoughts if you can.
Paul Gullon-Scott, the digital forensics mental health expert behind the survey, explains why having your say is so important for DFIR professionals working in the field:
Please take part in the Forensic Focus Investigator Well-Being Survey 2024. Your role as a Digital Forensic Investigator involves tremendous dedication, often involving pushing through long hours and complex technical demands. But have you ever felt that the mental health support for professionals in this field doesn’t quite hit the mark? Well, so have we.
The Forensic Focus Investigator Well-Being Survey is designed to explore exactly that, with questions addressing the support you receive, how you cope with work-related stress, and your thoughts on new confidential support spaces. This survey could provide the foundation for creating real change, whether you have a well-established support system, or find it challenging to manage the strain, or simply have ideas about what could be improved in the field.
Your perspective matters. By taking part, you can share your experiences on the availability of mental health support for digital forensic professionals, voice your strategies for managing work-related stress, and help shape and support a confidential online space, specifically designed for the digital forensic community. You can also highlight gaps and suggest resources that could benefit investigators just like yourself.
The survey also seeks input on how you’d like online support spaces to look, ensuring that any future initiatives are tailored directly to what matters most to you. Your feedback could be crucial in guiding organizations in developing practical and effective mental health support within digital forensics.
Please take five minutes to contribute to this study that puts you first.
Thank you very much in advance for completing the survey and helping us improve mental well-being in digital forensics.
