Trigger Warning - Suicide

Content Warning - Swearing

Simon Long joins us for part one of the LONGest podcast yet! Simon is a Menfulness expert. He’s been to pretty much all our events, runs a few himself and is an all round lovely chap. This turned into such a long one we decided to split it half! This first episode is going to be great if you’re interested in what we do, what our events are like or how to get involved as well as getting to know Simon. Please be aware we do talk briefly about suicide later in the conversation. We also hear a bit about Simon’s experience and start to learn about how he's now training to help others who are struggling too. Part 2 coming soon!
