Men's mental health: 'I was born to help'

Steve Harris

Available for over a year

Four years ago, life couldn't have been more different for Brandon Waine from Poole. After being bullied during childhood, he was removed from mainstream secondary school during his GCSEs for being disruptive. Then, at the age of 17, he became homeless. Brandon couldn't see a way forward and, in March 2019, he attempted to take his own life. Now aged 23, he's in the second year of a degree at Bournemouth University and is using his experience to help young men at Weymouth College with their mental health. Brandon has been sharing his story with 91福利社 Radio Solent's Lucy Ambache.
