Losing a loved one to suicide and my battle with mental health - A chat with James Lindemann

Taking Care of Business

Exactly 30 years since his father’s death, James Lindemann joins us to share his story in aid to raise awareness of mental health.

After losing his father to suicide at the age of 16, James struggled with his mental health and has experienced two psychotic episodes during his lifetime. Although he feels the subject matter is much more talked about than it used to be, James thinks it is still taboo for many.

In this episode, James talks about how his passion for football and how his love for Manchester United became his stress reliever. Over the course of the episode, he opens up about how he now has a positive mindset, and both he and Paul talk about the mechanisms they put in place to manage their mental wellbeing both individually and within business.

Fast forward to now, James is a director of a recruitment firm in the renewable energy sector and is taking part in a charity walk on the 11th of May to raise awareness as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.
