Life Matters is a ground-breaking new podcast where people with real experiences talk candidly about how suicide has affected them, where we get the very latest on innovative suicide prevention initiatives being developed around the world, investigate special projects - and hear from people who are creating some fun ways to help people to open up.
In this edition of Life Matters we hear about suicide among young people. Our personal story sees presenter Helen Garlick meet Michelle Leigh who set up a charity in memory of her teenage son. Producer/reporter Ashley Byrne speaks to researchers at the University of Manchester about worrying new findings around suicide and self harm among children. Former Gladiators star Suzanne Cox aka Vogue tells us why she’s become a Zero Suicide Alliance (ZSA) Ambassador, there’s an appearance from Strictly Come Dancing trainer Andrew Cuerden and music from singer-songwriter Melody Reed.
