*Trigger warning* 

Suicide features heavily in this episode so please be mindful and look after mind.

In this episode Lee welcomes Susie Bennett PhD researcher exploring Male Suicide at University of Glasgow; we discuss her research in-depth and talk about what can drive a man to believe that suicide is the only option open to them.

Lee discloses the build up to his two suicide attempts and the importance of normalising the conversation around suicide and how we can become more aware of the signs, presenting behaviours and checking in with your mates.
