abstract="PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to provide a profile of Rob Wright. <br><br>DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: Using a case study approach, Rob gives a short account of his background and is then interviewed by Jerome. <br><br>FINDINGS: Rob's is an amazing account of surviving a harrowing upbringing, which fortunately few of us reading this piece will have had to endure. Research limitations/implications: Rob's story perfectly illustrates why first-person accounts are so powerful. It is hard to imagine a statistical paper having the same impact as this description of one person's lived experience. Practical implications: Suicide is the greatest danger for anyone with a long-term mental health problem. Rob has faced this decision many times and has courageously battled on. Social implications: Rachel's simple, yet profound mantra, of &quot;someone to love, something to do, somewhere to live,&quot; is vital for all of our well-being. As Rob also points out, you still need money to put into the electric meter! Originality/value: Some people have tough upbringings and some have cruel upbringings. Rob had both. His survival is a testament to the uncrushable nature of the human spirit. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
