Before his death, Ben admitted to having little awareness of the seriousness of mental health issues. But after two years of volunteering for Shout, Ben says his focus in life has changed.
He told the Mirror: “Someone told me you can't change what's happened, but you can change what happens next. I started to think, ‘What's going to help me?’ and for me, what really helped was joining Shout.
“I started volunteering because I wanted to stop what happened to Sam from happening to anyone else.
“I've had messages and conversations with people that have been in those bad situations that survived that night because they contacted us and that, for me, is the most fulfilling thing.”
