“I wish that people could understand that the brain is the most important organ in your body. Just because you can’t see it like you could a broken bone doesn’t mean it’s not as detrimental + devastating to a family or an individual”
Demi Lovato
Episode 5 of The School of Success Podcast Series is one of the most powerful and moving conversations I’ve ever had. This inspiring interview with Clare Milford-Haven, aristocrat, ex-Tatler journalist, polo player + co-founder of @jamesplaceuk, gives deeply personal insight into the tragic loss of her beautiful son, James, to suicide.
In this episode, Clare explains:
– what triggers depression + suicidal crisis;
– what type of person feels suicidal;
– why men are particularly vulnerable;
– signs + symptoms of mental illness;
– how James’ Place helps support suicidal men +
– why those most at risk may be the last people you expect
This is for you if you have an interest in what it is to be human – happiness, sadness, chance, adversity + everything in between. It’s also for you if you have men in your life you care deeply for whether father, brother, son, friend, boyfriend, husband or otherwise.
This powerful tale of the Harrow educated, polo playing, life + soul of the party, James, bears poignant testimony to the complexity of happiness + the fragility of mental health, no matter how fortunate you are.
If it could happen to James, it could happen to anyone.
