David Leech is a qualified teacher of over twenty years. He worked across the education spectrum in Primary, Secondary, Maintained, and Private sectors in a range of roles from teacher to Headteacher and loved his career. So much so that he became more ‘Mr Leech’ than ‘David’. David shares his story about a period of poor mental health. This episode may be triggering some as we talk about suicidal ideation.

 

David shares his reboot story, his tips about gratitude and kindness, and then how he has gone on to change his career to focus his energies on helping individuals and organisations develop strategies to change cultures and approaches towards mental health and wellbeing.  He works with schools to help them to develop a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing, ensuring wellbeing is in the DNA of the school so that both teachers and pupils can flourish. He is passionate about ‘smashing the stigma’ surrounding poor mental health and changing the narrative for those suffering in silence.
