In this episode, we welcome Andrew Jenkins, who speaks with solicitor Debbie Humphries. Andrew talks about his background. Being involved in a road traffic accident in 1999, he sustained a brain injury, which eventually led him to becoming a brand ambassador for Headway.
It was identified that Andrew needed emotional support after his accident, and counselling was suggested. On reflection, he now recognises he was probably suffering from depression. Fifteen years later, he undertook counselling, which transformed his life. Andrew, having now removed his own mask, is self-aware and particularly loves working with children to educate and inspire.
