In 2018, Ben West's world collapsed when he tragically and unexpectedly lost his brother to suicide. Sam was only 15 when he died, but it propelled a 17-year-old Ben to take positive action and campaign around mental health awareness, suicide prevention and fundamentally changing how we approach mental health, especially in schools and the education system. In this episode, he joins Amber Milligan to discuss what happened to Sam, how to spot the signs in someone who needs help and the steps he now takes to protect his own mental health.  Sign Up to The FREE SheerLuxe Daily Email: https://sheerluxe.com/signup Follow Us On Instagram | @luxegen_official | https://www.instagram.com/luxegen_official/  Hosted on Acast.
