We discuss the importance of having conversations about suicide and mental health, the need for a society that aims for zero suicides, and the various factors that contribute to suicide risk. We also talk about the work of the Jordan Legacy in raising awareness, collaborating with other organisations, and advocating for suicide prevention strategies.
