Steve has a very moving and powerful story he delivers with real passion. He has an array of lived experience, knowledge and skills that can be called upon and woven into any talk so that your key message lands.

After losing his brother in a tragic car accident in his early teens, he battled with 25 years of drug addiction which he hid from friends and family.  He eventually lost everything and for a brief period found himself living on the streets.

Then in 2015 he experienced a nervous breakdown whilst at work, he was signed off with work related stress.

On his return his employers were less than empathetic and placed him on a Performance Improvement plan, within a month he was managed out of the business.

He then attempted to take my life by suicide multiple times before asking for professional help.

He was diagnosed with:

• High functioning Anxiety
• Depression 
• Work related stress 
• Borderline PTSD 
• 
  

In recovery he walked the entire length of Britain over 90 days, sleeping in a tent at night and during the day telling his story to local newspapers and national television.

  Steve has kindly co-authored and shared his insights from surviving multiple suicide attempts in this pocketbook of transformation and hope.

Have you ever felt a strong compulsion to take your life because things have got too painful or overwhelming? 

Has your life been affected by someone close to you who took their own life? 

Do you sometimes wonder what the point of being alive is? If so, you are not alone; everyone who features in this book has been affected in the same way. 

In this third edition of our Pocketbooks of Hope and Transformation series, you’ll discover 16 stories of people who have felt just like you. 

From experiencing suicidal ideation, the torturous pain of losing someone to suicide, to losing all sense of hope for a better life, these stories showcase ordinary people from across the globe who all experienced issues around suicide which pushed them to the edge.

For many, their experiences were an invitation to step powerfully into a life of greater self-compassion, healing and finding meaning and purpose, which was born out of the depths of their darkness. 

If you are still sitting in the darkness, our wish is that this book brings you some sense of hope for better days to come.
