Mental health
Paul MERCURIO (Hastings) (10:24): Yesterday was my brother Michael’s birthday. He would have been 61. Sadly, he took his own life 25 years ago. He is much missed and much loved and always will be. Suicide is a cold, lonely and terrible place to be. It is okay not to be okay. If you are having suicidal thoughts, there are people and organisations out there that can and will help you, and I urge you to reach out.
