Honorary doctorate for ZSA co-founder

We are proud to share that Steve Mallen, one of our founding members, has been recognised for services to mental health and suicide prevention with an Honorary Doctorate in Health Science from Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge.

The university said:

“His uncompromising commitment to improving mental health provision led to Steve being described by the former Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who now chairs the parliamentary Select Committee for Health & Social Care, as 'the country's most formidable campaigner on suicide prevention'.”

This honour recognises Steve's dedication to improving mental health support as well as suicide awareness and prevention efforts. As well as being one of the ZSA's founding members, Steve has worked with a number of organisations and charities to share his experiences and insights to help make improvements happen.
