Small Talk Saves Lives: The Samaritans Campaign

In 2017 the story about my then partner/now fiancee jumping over the railings to save me (back in December 2016) featured in a new campaign by the Samaritans ‘Small Talk Saves Lives’. Of course, they didn’t advocate that everyone should do what my partner did but simply shared the message that a little small talk can start someone on a journey to recovery, help break their thoughts and ultimately, save a life. It was a very proud moment when it was released to the media, and very cathartic to be a part of. I waived my right to anonymity on social media about a year after it was released because I’m so proud of my progress.
