06.01.2022 When I tell people what I do for a living, 90% of the time, the reaction is the same that must be so interesting? Do you see dead bodies? But its not like i...t is on the TV. It cant be done in an hour. They dont see the lonely side of the job leaving in the early hours of the morning, grabbing food at another fast-food place at a strange time of the day, smelling a little ripe when you finally get home, and the smell of stale of blood in your nose for two days. Mental health awareness and care has never been more important, especially for our essential service workers. https://www.keyforensic.co.uk//mental-health-awareness-we/
