Welcome to Proper Mental episode 71 with Jonny Benjamin, who is the CEO of Beyond, a young person's charity that raises money and gives out grants to help other organisations and schools that are underfunded or underutilised. He is also an award-winning mental health campaigner, speaker, author and vlogger and in 2017 was awarded an MBE. Jonny is known for his book and documentary film, The Stranger on the Bridge, which fought to end stigma around talking about mental health, suicidal thoughts and schizoaffective disorder. When his campaign to find the man who prevented him from taking his own life went viral, Jonny was one of a wave of new figures lifting the lid on mental health struggles. You can watch his documentary here: The Stranger on the Bridge - All 4 (channel4.com) Jonny's story is well documented and documented very well so I thought it would be more beneficial to focus on the now and the future and that's where most of this conversation takes place. His latest project, The Book of Hope, brings together people from all walks of life – actors, musicians, athletes, psychologists and activists – to share what gives them hope and aims to be a supportive hand to anyone looking to find light on a dark day and shows that, no matter what you may be going through, you are not alone. Jonny and I chat about the process of putting all these wonderful essays together and the importance of hope through shared experience. We also chat about the work he does with Beyond and their recent festival, the power of music, compassion-based therapy and how an absence of hope led him to the bridge back in 2008. You can learn more about Beyond here: Beyond – Beyond the shame and stigma of mental health (wearebeyond.org.uk) And you can learn more about Jonny here: Jonny Benjamin – Mental Health Campaigner The Book of Hope: 101 voices on Overcoming Adversity is out now in your local bookshop!

Jonny Benjamin MBE - founder of Beyond charity and mental health campaigner - has a groovy way to make dancing solo in the mirror even more enjoyable.

Jonny Benjamin MBE is an awarding winning mental health campaigner, writer, film producer, public speaker and vlogger. At the age of 20 he was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, which is a combination of schizophrenia and bipolar. Having been affected by mental illness from a young age, Jonny is passionate about improving mental health for young people, and has started up a charity Beyond. The charity held the first-ever mental health and wellbeing festival for primary and secondary schools during Children's Mental Health Week in February this year.Jonny tells me his story about how mental illness has affected him from a young age and about the devastation he felt at getting a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder due to the stigma surrounding it. He tells me about his intention to take his own life and about the life-changing meeting he had with the stranger on the bridge and about how his words of positivitiy and optimism changed Jonny's mind, which led him on, some years later, to create a campaign to find this stranger called ‘Find Mike' with the charity Rethink Mental Illness which went viral and was shared by millions all over the world.We speak about the pressure on teachers to take responsibility for children and young people's mental health and how more action needs to be taken to support this. We discuss compassion focused therapy and self-love – an area we are both passionate about. And Jonny emphasises the importance of active listening – something that many of us don't do properly, but can be hugely helpful for people.There is still a damaging stigma around mental illness and Jonny is having an amazing impact in dismantling this. For many people right now, poor mental health is absolutely rife and so I was so pleased to have this conversation with Jonny, to hopefully shine some positivity and hope for those struggling, that there are ways to get better. Jonny also gives some great advice for those wanting to help others. jonnybenjamin.co.ukeducationsupport.org.ukmentalhealthmates.co.ukThe book Jonny recommended by Dr Kristin Neff self-compassion.org@mrjonnybenjamin@sophieelwes

I’m honoured to be joined today by one of the UK’s most impressive speakers and mental health advocates in the form of Jonny Benjamin MBE, who made headlines after sparking a national campaign called Find Mike – with the goal of tracking down the man who talked him down from a bridge. Jonny talks candidly about his own experience with schizoaffective disorder, which has led to him hearing a voice in his head that used to take on the form of an angel, before becoming the devil.He’s passionate about mental health and how we all need to talk more openly, and you can find the charity he founded, Beyond, on wearebeyond.org.uk. He’s also created a mental health festival for schools called Now and Beyond.Jonny also tells me how his relatively conservative Jewish upbringing made it harder to talk about his issues, while also feeling he had to keep his homosexuality secret. We also spoke about fellow schizophrenia sufferer Elyn Saks, whose Ted Talk you can find here.Follow me on Twitter and Instagram, both andrewgold_ok, and have a browse of the different perks you can get from a membership on patreon.com/andrewgold Click here to go ads-free and support the show See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Introducing my joint first guest of season two, mental health activist Jonny Benjamin MBE! I laughed and I cried in equal measure while producing this episode, which has themes ranging from Jonny’s mental health journey; his experience of growing up gay in the Jewish community; and the perils of hiding your phone from yourself when you live alone. Jonny was SO funny and easy to talk to – qualities that make him ever the more inspiring in the wake of what he’s been through. In 2008, Jonny stood on the edge of Waterloo Bridge ready to take his own life – but was saved thanks to a chance intervention from a stranger. Since then, Jonny has dedicated his life to raising awareness surrounding mental illness and suicide. Even the Duke of Cambridge is a fan, providing the foreword to Jonny’s book, The Stranger on the Bridge.  Jonny Benjamin’s book, The Stranger on the Bridge, is available from Amazon and Waterstones.  If you enjoyed this episode – I’d LOVE it if you could leave a written review. It’s the absolute best way to help others discover the show. Twitter: @ChezSpecter @mrjonnybenjamin Instagram: @alonementofficial
