Episode 43: Preventing Suicide

This week, Mick is joined by an occupational therapist, who has dedicated her career to tackling suicide.

Jane Boland is Suicide Prevention Lead for Mersey Care – and says a new way of thinking about suicide has revolutionised how people receive help in the Merseyside region.

She sets out how the changes have affected treatments since 2006.

Also on the show, Angela Samata, who lost her husband to suicide, tells Mick how working with the medical community can help blaze a trail for future treatments.
