Leanda Kelly from St Albans is hoping to raise mental health awareness.

A mother grieving the loss of two of her three children who took their own lives said she never imagined it was possible.

"You might lose two children in a road traffic accident but I lost two children to suicide," she said. Mrs Kelly said her son Stevie took his sister's death "particularly hard" as the two were like "twins of different ages". After both her children died, Mrs Kelly said she was inundated by people saying they pair had helped them with their own mental health struggles.
