Training films on suicide prevention

A short, but powerful documentary in which parents who have lost their children to suicide talk candidly about their tragic experiences. Actress, Julie Hesmondhalgh explores the groups of children and young people at particular risk of suicide and explains why it’s more important than ever to tackle the stigma associated with talking about our mental health and what should be done to break down these barriers.

It gives an insight into how young people process feelings of suicide and the tools and techniques they use to keep themselves safe.
