About this listen
In this powerful episode, we are joined by Glen Markey, who lost his daughter, Helena, to suicide in 2015. Since then, Glen has dedicated himself to campaigning for change in how schools support young people’s mental health through his campaign Smile4Helena.
Together, we explore the impact of loss, how workplaces have evolved in talking about mental health, and the simple yet life-saving policy change Glen is fighting for: ensuring parents are always contacted when a young person becomes distressed in school.
It’s an emotional and deeply human conversation about grief, resilience, and turning pain into purpose.
