The UKโs emergency responders operate in the most demanding environments imaginable. Their work has a serious impact on their mental health.
To put it in context, most of us will experience between three and four traumatic events in our lifetime. During their career, a police officer can face 600.
๐ 66% of fire service personnel have faced mental health issues
๐ for the police this figure rises to 70%
๐ for ambulance workers even higher to 76%
Thatโs why we're supporting the Gratitude Games - a one-of-a-kind sporting event that aims to raise vital funding for specialist mental health support for emergency service and NHS workers.
A Crowdfunder has been launched and public support is needed if the vision of the Games is going to be realised. Find out more and donate, if you can: https://bit.ly/3DR7P32
