"For men under 45, suicide is the greatest threat to life in the UK." ~ Daniel Gainsford ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ This episode contains content that may be alarming to some listeners. We do talk about suicide which we know can be distressing. Welcome to another powerful installment of our short story series, where we reflect on some of the most impactful moments from the past six seasons of our podcast. Today, in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day, we are honored to share a deeply moving episode with the inspirational Daniel Gainsford. The statistics are alarming: 👉 84 men die by suicide every week in the UK. 👉 Two-thirds of these men had no prior history of reported mental health conditions. In this episode, Daniel bravely opens up about his own experience with loss, having tragically lost a close friend to suicide in 2020. He shares his personal journey and reflects on the devastating impact these statistics have on families and communities. Daniel emphasizes the urgent need for "pre-habilitation"—a proactive approach to mental health that focuses on mental fitness, much like we do with physical fitness. By talking openly and working on our mental resilience before crisis hits, we can work toward reducing these heartbreaking numbers and saving lives. This conversation is a call to action. Join us as Daniel shines a light on the importance of early intervention, mental fitness, and the vital role we all play in suicide prevention. This is a powerful reminder of why mental health matters and the need for us to support one another. 🔗 Link to short story in comments below 👇 Podcast Sponsored By Rivervale Plus X Innovation Nostos Hove Rubix VT Produced By Martin Leppard H2 Productions Ltd #MentalHealthMatters #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #Resilience #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #SuicidePrevention #MentalFitness #LifeLessons #PodcastSeries

🎙️ This Month on the Brighton Business Show: Talking Neurodiversity with Lisa Kerr and James Dempster🎙️ This month, we’re joined by the incredible Lisa Kerr, ACC, CALC, FCA, FCSI, Assoc. CIPD and James Dempster for a powerful conversation on neurodiversity and the realities of being neurodivergent. We explore why neurodiversity isn’t a “superpower” and challenge the misconception that "everyone is on the spectrum." Lisa and James offer profound insights into the unique challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals and highlight practical steps we can all take to foster inclusivity. Our discussion centers around simple yet impactful actions that promote inclusion, such as effective communication and understanding individual needs. We dive deep into how these small considerations can transform workplaces and social settings, creating environments where everyone feels valued and understood. ✨ Key Takeaways ✨ ➡️ Prioritize Clear Communication: Ensure that messages are conveyed in a way that everyone can understand. ➡️ Value Individual Needs: When making decisions, consider how they impact the entire team and aim for a diverse decision-making board. ➡️ Create Inclusive Events: Ask attendees what they need to feel comfortable and accommodated. ➡️ Small Steps, Big Impact: Even minor adjustments can significantly enhance inclusivity and comfort for neurodivergent individuals. Tune in for this insightful episode and discover how we can all contribute to a more inclusive and understanding community. 🔗 in comments below 👇 #Neurodiversity #Inclusivity #BrightonBusinessShow #EffectiveCommunication #UnderstandingNeeds #InclusiveWorkplaces #SupportActions #NeurodivergentVoices
