#29 | Ben West | Losing my brother to suicide.


Listen Later

In this episode, Fergus is joined by Ben West: author, activist, and mental health campaigner.

Ben lost his brother Sam to suicide in January 2018, and has since been on a mission to change the landscape for mental health in the UK.

He has raised over £100,000 through several initiatives, led petitions, and has even attended Downing Street to discuss the future for young people's mental health here in the UK.

Ben has recently launched his first book: This Book Could Save Your Life.

Expect to hear an honest account from someone who has reframed a traumatic experience into positive change.

Expect to reconsider how you approach the mental health crisis here in the UK.

Expect to understand how you can potentially save someone's life, by changing the way that we approach this conversation.
