This story

Jack has worked in horticulture since he was 14 and experienced his own struggles with depression and anxiety without always having support around him. A charity funded his training to become a mental health first aider at a plant nursery in Hereford. He now supports around 25 colleagues a year, breaking through language barriers and helping coworkers through stress, bereavement and isolation.
