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 7th edition of Life Matters, Helen Garlick hears how suicide is still criminalised in some parts of the world. Life Matters producer/reporter Ashley Byrne speaks to Dr Taha Sabir in Pakistan about a campaign to repeal the law and improve things for those at risk.
The personal story in this episode is with Steven Foyster from Norfolk who wrote a book about his experiences called ‘Cry to be Heard’.
Helen samples ‘You’re Not Alone’ the new single produced and donated to the ZSA by Manchester-based singer/songwriter and film maker Josh Woods.
And actor Kaitlyn Akinpelumi tells Life Matters why she’s proud to become a ZSA ambassador.
