**Content Warning**
This episode contains discussion of a suicidal crisis and suicidal ideation.
Jonny Benjamin MBE is a writer, filmmaker, public speaker, and award-winning mental health campaigner. Since starting his YouTube channel in 2010, Jonny has gone on to make documentaries for BBC Three and Channel 4 and write a book about the time he was prevented from attempting suicide in 2008 by a passerby.
He is passionate about improving mental health education and this year launched a charity called Beyond Shame, Beyond Stigma with Neil Laybourn, the man who saved his life on Waterloo Bridge, which delivers talks and workshops to young people and their families and educators.
Among many things Jonny and Simon discussed:

Stigma, and the impact of growing up a gay man with a mental illness in a Jewish community
Why we need to listen to young people about mental health, our attitudes to social media, and the need to connect with each other more
The challenges of busy modern life and how to properly slow down
How giving each other hope can save lives

Jonny's new book, The Book of Hope, will be published in 2020.
