SIMON MORRELL

Simon on his first book, “When Geoff Thompson first asked me to write a book about my life, my troubles, poor mental health, abuse, but also the happy times, Julie and the kids, achieving my first Black Belt and the glories that went with that, I think, when it came to choosing the title, I became a little blindsided and went with a title that screamed Martial Arts all over it. After all, From Bullied to Black Belt was, on face value, the journey I took.

Bullying is a significant problem that affects many people, impacting their mental health and self-esteem. Today, we have a unique chance to bring attention to our "Being Bullied" projects, which include a new book, a feature film, and inspiring talks aimed at supporting those who have been bullied, feel fear, struggle with mental health, or experience abuse.
