Emergency service workers not seeking mental health help
A snapshot survey conducted by the mental health charity Mind has suggested two fifths of emergency service workers would never ask their manager for help if they had a mental health problem.
Sergeant Ed Simpson was a family liaison officer with North Yorkshire Police and says an incident in 2008 "completely destroyed me".
"It was the first time I'd ever cried as a police officer on duty and I could not control it," he says.
The Police Federation says there's not enough support for emergency service workers with mental health issues and that more staff need to be trained to identify things like depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder in their colleagues.
The government says it's recently provided £10m to help support emergency services personnel and volunteers in the areas of mental health, physical recuperation and bereavement support.
