Hi my name is Dave and I am the Captain of the Bourneville Talk Club

My Father suffered with Mental Health Issues all of his life, but the help was never really there back in the 70s and 80s, and he was prescribed medication that he became addicted too. We knew Dad struggled but I never realised quite how bad he was untill I became his carer, when mum passed away in 2017. As a legacy to his life I would like to be there for others who are in a similar situation. I am a good listener, who will have great empathy for those who are struggling.
