Passionate Lives was set up by Trys Reddick to spread awareness of mental illness through the Mental Health First Aid courses and related Accredited and Non Accredited Training. Trys was diagnosed with Depression, Anxiety, OCD, Social Phobia and Agoraphobia aged 14 and for the next 10 years would be a virtual recluse. During that time he had many friends with Bi-Polar, Psychosis, Substance Use Disorder and Self Harm and lost 5 people to suicide.
