It’s a strange thing to lose someone close to you to suicide and to have that tragedy put you on a path to finding purpose. It’s what happened to me, and it’s also what happened to Varad, whose life has been shaped by the suicide of his friend Michael in university; something he still feels guilty about. Varad’s a youth mentor who facilitates mental health workshops for students through Western Australian not for profit, Man Up and has contributed his insight to the creation of new mental health resource website, RightByYou. RightByYou is a straight-forward, easy to navigate tool that serves as a great starting point if you need help with your own mental health, or if you're looking for guidance in how to support someone. Go to rightbyyou.org.au This podcast is about mateship, grief, guilt, meaning, hope and how you can spot the signs someone you care about might be struggling much more than you think. This is Varad Mukhedkar’s story… ------------- Young Blood - Men's Mental Health is a volunteer community service.
