What would you do if you were abused as a child and then shared with his friends, their little play thing?

Would you want to talk about it?

Let's start talking before it's too late.

haunting echo of betrayal that spans decades.

Robbie S Stephens is an author and a couragcous advocate for mental health awareness. His willingness to share his story demonstrates his commitment to fostering a world where individuals facing mental health challenges can find solace, understanding, and support.

I remember the day like any other trip to the Polo Club. I was chatting to Jilly Cooper about her latest film. Prince Harry was playing with his dad. We locked up and grabbed our bikes. Headed off through the woods. We dumped the bikes and off I walked down a track.

"Nice"

That's the only word he used, whispering it into my ear. I can still smell his breath, the fags, the booze, the Sherry. I got a bonus that day for all my hard work 120.

If I told people they wouldn't believe it. They would try to ruin our special friendship. You once said to me.

"No one will believe you"

You were my friend and I trusted you. I believed what you said was true.

30 years later, I realise it was all a lie.

Together we can make a difference. Together we can help.

Together we can challenge Mental Health.
