First responders in regional areas are incredible. But access to mental health services is very difficult.
Fortem has a big goal to help them - and we need your support. Our Gala Ball is one way you can show how much you care about our first responders https://t.co/GKX72F8lND

Now, more than ever, we need to look after each other and our mental health.
