*Trigger Warning* - Mention of means of suicide

Thursday 10th September was World Suicide Prevention Day 2020, a day each year where organisations from around the world come together to raise awareness of suicide and how we can work together to reduce the number of people who die by suicide. We were joined by some amazing guests for a live discussion around suicide which was broadcast to our Facebook page and this episode is bringing you the replay of that conversation.
