Joe tells his story of losing both his mother and father to suicide before he was 11 years old. After over 30 years of coping with a generalised anxiety disorder, panic attacks, a divorce and the stress of being a professional business man, Joe and I discuss important areas of mental health, business and suicide loss, including:

• The significance of trauma after suicide loss.
• The needs of teenagers when faced with suicide loss.
• The physical effects of depression.
• How Joe coped as a teenager through snowboarding, friendships and music.
• How the COVID lockdown helped Joe make healthy life choices in business.
• How Joe managed his panic attacks.
• Empathic leadership.

A story illuminating the possible effects of suicide loss on a child and a growing man.
