Show notes
We speak to Jonny Benjamin MBE, a prolific mental health campaigner who was close to taking his own life on Waterloo Bridge in 2008, until a stranger - Neil Laybourn - talked him around. It's an incredibly powerful and heartwarming story, which Jonny and Neil now share around the globe to help promote good mental health.Released during Children's Mental Health Week and #TimeToTalkDay - 07.02.19.Fully illustrated.
