Between World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th, and World Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th, we’re encouraging open and honest conversations about the difficult and prevalent topic of suicide. Helping to raise awareness and helping to prevent people from acting on suicidal thoughts.

Opening up about his mental health journey in this episode, Rhys Jones introduces us to the impact depression had on his life. Rhys shares his history of unhealthy coping mechanisms, self-harm, hitting rock bottom, and ultimately the road to recovery with healthier coping mechanisms. A story of self-acceptance and the importance of talking to friends and family. A powerful and honest view on a topic that many shy away from, but ultimately a topic that could save a life.

If you’ve been affected by any of the topics covered in this episode, please don’t suffer alone and reach out to the Samaritans on 116 123. #WeAllKnowAnAlex
