Will has worked in the construction industry for many years and sadly lost his brother to suicide in 2019.
He speaks very openly and candidly about his experience and has found a way to help break down the barriers around this incredibly difficult topic in “telling people the brutal truth”, rather than just quoting another statistic.
In this 60 minute session Andy will interview Will about his experience and ask him questions that open up the conversation and enable people to approach this difficult topic with more confidence.
We hope that you find this session useful and thought provoking. If you have any questions or feedback, please email them to info@ebbflowcorporatewellness.co.uk.
