Simon Greaves is a Mountain Guide in the Cairngorms but for many years he worked as a manager in education. Ironically, although his role as a senior manager involved supporting stressed and exhausted staff who were struggling with mental health, he found it incredibly difficult to speak up about his own mental health problems. For 2 years he contemplated ending his life before everything came to a crisis point but, thankfully, instead of turning to suicide he turned to a very receptive and good GP. It was a moment that turned Simon’s life around.
