Lisa Richards

Lisa Richards is a “Heart with EARs” whose world changed forever at the age of 19 when her Mum decided to end her own life. Whilst she survived and became a living reminder of that day, the effect on Lisa was profound and 8 years later despite outwardly looking fine, she suffered a breakdown and suicidal thoughts.

In contrast to her Mum, Lisa sought help and decided that if she ever recovered she would help others to do the same. 25 years later she is doing just that having trained as a Grief Recovery Specialist and Mental Health First Aider.
