With the days drawing ever shorter, this time of year can be particularly dark for many so we are pleased to be able to offer hope with inspirational guest Jonny Benjamin MBE. We go into depth on what led to a suicide attempt in his early 20s and how a stranger was able to bring him back from the edge in this extra length episode.

Here we go! Mental is the brain-child of Bobby Temps, who lives and thrives while managing his own mental health. Every Thursday we delve into a factor or condition that influences the mind and how to better manage it.
