Spent Friday in Bristol at the LGBT Suicide Prevention conference organised by my employers.
Not exactly a laugh a minute day. The statistics are truly grim. Nevertheless good things occurred.
I got to touch and talk to the creature illustrated here. I broke all the rules about never meeting heroes but I can report - he doesn't disappoint,
Especially when he agrees with me.
There is truly inspirational work going on out there. Good minds and good hearts are engaged in this work.
One thing that became clear during the day is how many of us who had roles tackling the first wave of the HIV epidemic have pitched up tackling the current epidemic of mental distress.
There is learning to be learned.
