“it’s ok not to be ok” -introducing jonathan’s voice by Val McCartney Founder & Trustee alzheimer’s society reaches out to thousands by Alzheimer’s Society Jonathan’s Voice is a registered charity that was established in 2017 in memory of Jonathan McCartney who tragically and unexpectedly took his own life in October of that year. He was 35. Jonathan was a successful patent attorney. We were shocked when we subsequently learnt how many people each year die by suicide. In 2018 there were 6,507 suicides registered in the UK, an average of 18 each day and sadly more than in 2017. Suicide is more prevalent in men than in woman and is the most common cause of death in men aged 20 – 49. We came to understand that Jonathan had been struggling for a long time but felt unable to seek professional help. He felt that he should be able to manage on his own. Research studies consistently show how reluctant many people are to discuss their mental health, particularly with their employer. There may be many reasons for this but one is certainly a sense that there is a stigma around the topic. One of the prime aims of Jonathan’s Voice is to reduce that stigma associated with mental health and to empower people to speak up and reach out for help when they need it. The charity aims to raise awareness of mental health issues in workplaces, provide resources and support organizations to develop good mental health practice. We also offer bespoke presentations and talks to both companies and community groups.

The charity is helping to alleviate the anxiety many face by making thousands of ‘welfare calls’ to provide support and information. In the East Midlands more than 6,000 calls have already been made by staff and volunteers determined to reach out to those in need. Jean Eastwood (pictured above), of Nottingham, who has Alzheimer’s and lives alone, said: “Because of living on my own the lockdown has affected my daily regime by restricting meetings, gatherings and my volunteering activities. “It has also affected my memory. I am forgetting to turn off electrical items such as the grill, the oven and the hot water switch in the last few days.” Alzheimer’s Society is calling for people to sign up and become a Dementia Friend.
