Men face greater health risks than women in Australia, they are less likely to seek help from their doctor and often don’t go until an illness is in its later stages. Jeff Lawrance, Senior Delivery Manager and Occupational Therapist with the MS Plus Employment Support Service discusses the barriers that men with MS face in the workplace, and how things such as stereotypical views of masculinity can influence this. Jeff offers invaluable advice and strategies to help you overcome these barriers and assist you in making the changes to feel better at work. 

With thanks to Jeff Lawrance.
