Interview With Leah Dobson From Joshua’s Light Foundation

Have you had the experience, of knowing something is real and around; but only when you have a personal connection with it, do you see it almost everywhere?

This is my experience of suicide. I work with clients who have suicidal thoughts and I actively facilitate their ability to see good in their life; but I'm happy to say I have never had a client commit suicide.

In 2014 one of my closest friend's brother took his own life; the devastation was immeasurable - grief, helpless and anger. Everywhere.

Perhaps I'll share my experience of this in another post, when  my friend is in the place for me to do so; but today I want to share with you, the experience of Leah Dobson. I met Leah through our mutual friend, with who she experiences a similar pain. 

I approached Leah to do this interview around World Suicide Prevention Day, but due to our work commitments, we have only just been able to make it happen.

Warning - the purpose of this interview is to spread the words of bullying, suicide, mental health, drug and alcohol misuse and to to spread light where it hasn't shone for a while; but in doing so, you may experience strong emotional reactions to some or all of the content, so please take care of yourself.
