What’s the point, why am I here? That point when I feel like I am tired of existing. This is a question me and our panel have asked ourselves about the lives at regular points on the timeline of our lives. It’s a place of despair, exasperation, and hopelessness. We perpetrate ourselves as human beings, this is a real thing, treat ourselves badly, not all the time of course, but, in tired moments of depression and feeling like all we do is battle for life, where is the middle ground. Our panel goes deep as always in this discussion.

A Homosexual man and Royal Air Force veteran Kevin has first hand experience with having his humanity not seen and his choices not respected.

In his work as a motivational public speaker, trainer and consultant for Inclusion & Diversity, Kevin uses his lived experience of prejudice and discrimination to share teachings that make organisational environments more inclusive

Kevin talks to us about his life experiences with discrimination, having been married and realising he was gay, not fitting in and being on the receiving end of brutal ignorance.

This is an insightful, informative and inspirational look into what it is like to be othered, what can be done about it moving forward and some of the scars that linger.

A very relevant topic at the moment and one that is always necessary to be have a discussion around. Suicide at some point can affect everyone directly or indirectly. Financial hardship, Relationship failure, low self worth , life is too hard, abuse, there are all sorts of reasons people get to the point where they are tired of trying at life and feel like they cant, don't want to or won't keep living, either way a common thread in reaching the point of calling it quits in this life seems to be catalyzed by overwhelming feelings of shame. when someone commits suicide families suffer , the ripple effect of suffering is exponential, which is weird when I consider that life is meant to be for joyful living. What to do when someone tells you they want to commit suicide and how to handle it. Our panel today whirls this serious topic around sharing personal stories with a great , revealing round robin on the topic.
