UK Jurors - Post-Trial Mental Health Support

Is it time for permanent mental health support for jurors in the UK? \\Personal case study wanted for Sky News article\\ Full disclosure, I am a journalist looking to speak to people who have had therapy or actively tried to get professional help as a result of their jury service experience in the UK. Currently, jurors are told to contact their GP or the Samaritans 24-hour helpline if they feel they need to, but in most cases (particularly after the most traumatic) this is not enough. I have seen countless posts regarding the lack of support given to jurors and I want to try to and bring the discussion further into the public eye - and (over time) try to improve juror aftercare. This is now increasingly topical after David Lammy announced jury trials for crimes that carry a sentence of less than three years will be scrapped - meaning jurors will have a higher likelihood of having to sit on trials involving murder, abuse, sexual assault etc. Last year a total of 15 Crown Courts in England and Wales took part in a Ministry of Justice scheme where jurors were handed leaflets containing details of how they could access six free counselling sessions with specially trained clinicians provided by Vita Health Group, after the conclusion of a trial. The scheme was largely welcomed by the industry, including the BPS, but no longer-term action has been taken by the MOJ. I completely understand the sensitive nature of the topic, but I am looking for people willing to share their experience. This is not limited to a time frame, but would be particularly keen if you were one of the jurors who was offered free counselling as part of the government's trial from October to March last year. People can of course choose to be anonymous and no one would not be asked to reveal details of jury deliberations to comply with UK law. I am just interested in the following: How jury service made you feel What support you tried to get/got and where from What you think any future form of support for UK jurors should look like. Please do DM me if you are interested in speaking, or know someone who might be. Thank you :)
