In this special episode of ETMN podcast, Steve Waters and I are speaking to Benjy Rickman, a Secondary school teacher, from Manchester. Benjy is a social media influencer through activity and youtube channel. Benjy is an RE teacher, who also channels his energies into promoting mental health for young people. Alongside being an extraordinary teacher, he uses his youtube channel to hold virtual assemblies in which he makes mental health, relevant and accessible to all young people. His motivator for this work is the tragic death of his 15 year old son, 18 months ago. In this episode we speak to him about his bereavement, how he copes and inspires simultaneously. Teaching after bearing such a personal tragedy can have all sorts of implications. Listen to this very moving candid conversation to understand Benjy’s trials and tribulations. This is a must listen!
