GBA 210 Stephen

Summary: In GBA 210 we get better acquainted with Stephen. As we sit on London Fields in the sunshine he tells me about growing up: childhood in Middlesborough, early adulthood in Uganda and London, working in the mental health system, losing anger and finding perspective. The conversation features stories of risk taking, danger, violence and car crashes told openly and with humour.
