Having watched friends within the armed forces community take there own lives at an alarming rate recently, this is a subject that is extremely close to my heart. Most that know me well enough to see through the front know that i have suffered with mental health issues for a long time due to depression and anxiety. I would like to give something back and raise awareness for the support i have received over the years and that I am still receiving from various organisations such as Veterans First Point.
