This is a major area! In my experience many emergency personnel are very poorly supported when injured by trauma - if you're stuggling seek help

Did you know emergency service personnel are highly likely to experience trauma in their day to-day work? This can often lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and depression.

We know that emergency service personnel help protect us against unforeseen circumstances - PTSD is also unforeseen and our first responders need to be protected from the devastating effects of trauma.

With your support, Black Dog Institute is pursuing ground-breaking new research and turning it into life-saving action to protect their mental wellbeing.

Male pattern baldness is common and usually starts just after puberty. As you can see below, hair loss patterns can vary, but it usually starts at the hairline just above the temples. As it's hereditary, it can't be prevented.

If you experience this, you're not alone.
In fact, this condition impacts:

👉 1 in 5 men in their 20's
👉 1 in 3 men in their 30's
👉 1 in 2 men in their 40's and beyond

While some men find it easy to embrace, others find it affects their self-confidence and self-esteem, particularly if it started at a young age. If this is you, seeing a counsellor or speaking with someone you trust may help shift your perspective.
