Content warning: this episode discusses youth suicide and depression.

This month, William speaks to mental health campaigner Ben West, who, after the tragic suicide of his brother as a teenager, decided to try and make a difference to how youth mental health is understood and treated in the UK. Ben discusses how his experiences shaped his campaign work, why policy takes such a long time to produce change in this country, and how we should be planning to make a long-term difference.

Alongside that, Laura joins from the RSPH team to discuss our recent climate change e-learning offer.
