Emergency services in the South West are using surfing as a way of helping staff overcome mental health challenges including PTSD.

The Surfwell project has been developed by Devon and Cornwall Police and Dorset Police, and has helped about 70 officers, paramedics and firefighters.

One paramedic who has taken part in sessions said "the freedom of the sea just does something to you".
