Hi, I'm Michael.

I started my journey with St John Ambulance way back in 1995 as a youth member. Since then, i have spent many years as a volunteer until becoming a career Paramedic. I have learnt so much over the years about caring for our communities, compassion and empathy for my fellow man.

Now I'm looking to give back to those less fortunate. I am planning a journey in 2019 to travel to Cambodia to volunteer in clinics in smaller villages.

This is a difficult topic but everyone needs to know about it. The book is not sad and depressing, it is filled with hope. It looks at the many causes of suicide from depression, bullying, addiction, loneliness, psychosis, brain injuries, sleep deprivation and failure. It has been written in a way that everyone can easily understand it. It has been carefully researched to include the latest scientific information about how mental illness affects the brain.

The book's website has free talks about suicide prevention, www.beingatruehero.com...

Here are some of the reviews,

"An easy to read and thoroughly worthwhile book."
- Dr. Sue Bagshaw, Senior of Paediatrics at the Christchurch School of Medicine

"A beacon of hope to the community... Michael's thorough research is narrated with insightful reflections from practical experience... Highly recommended to those in the Health & Teaching Professions."
- Dr. Susan Maree Taylor, Rural GP

"Michael writes about mental illness and suicide with compassion and hope. His book is useful for people who have personal experience, the people who love them, and professionals who work in the field. It is serious, at times funny, and references up to date research."
- Kay O'Connor, PhD, Counsellor

"I recently asked a friend I was concerned about if he was suicidal, it turned out he was - and needed help. Without the information in this book I never would have had the confidence to do that. The material in this book could save many lives."
- Thomas Saywell, Youth Worker

The book is available on Amazon and Kindle or through the book's website www.beingatruehero.com...
