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 the fifth programme, new host and ZSA ambassador Helen Garlick presents a show which looks at mental health and suicide around people of mixed race heritage, she hears from an entertainment company which decided to change the language it uses around Halloween after speaking to the Zero Suicide Alliance, Ashley Byrne speaks to Adam Graham from Lancashire who's set up a new peer support group after his brother took his own life and there's advice on how YOU can become a Zero Hero. Broadcaster Dan Westwood (another one of the new ZSA ambassadors) reveals why he's getting involved and Freddy Chick meets the 'Dudes and Dogs' from Bristol - a group where the four legged animals really do prove to be our very best friends.
Life Matters is brought to you by the Zero Suicide Alliance - www.zerosuicidealliance.com
