(Content Warning: Suicide)

“In a previous life”, Colin Bailey dedicated the best part of 30 years to senior corporate leadership roles within retail, hospitality and entertainment – embodying a definite work-life imbalance. Colin has personally experienced how stress, anxiety and depression are intricately interwoven with our health – be it physical or mental. This was irrevocably reinforced when he lost his father – a respected medical General Practititioner – to suicide.

We can dissect the facts and the figures, but every statistic is a person – a valued member of someone’s family. Prevention is better than cure, and early intervention is therefore vital – particularly when you consider that 50% of mental health problems are established by the age of 14, and 75% by the age of 24.*
