Editor's note

Data released this week shows 54% of Australian men aged 18 to 55 report experiencing at least one sexual difficulty over the past 12 months.

Many Muslims in New Zealand will return to their mosques for Friday prayer today, a week after the terror attack in Christchurch. Fatima Junaid shares her research on how employers and organisations can support people after a traumatic experience to help them regain control over some parts of their lives.
