044 Suicide in men, the biggest killer in the UK

In this episode we are talking about the very serious, and incredibly sad fact that suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 years of age in the UK.

 

A staggering and heartbreaking statistic I am sure you will agree. 

 

Regular listeners will already know that I am passionate about reaching as many people as possible in order to overcome the fear of failure. 

 

Yet the stark reality is, too many people - but especially men - feel they have no alternative but to take their own lives. 

 

I urge you to take just 13 minutes to listen to this episode.

 

But more than that, I urge you to take action.

 

To reach out to someone if this episode resonates because you are feeling low.

To reach out if you think someone you know, might be feeling overwhelmingly low.

And to share this episode on your social media channels. 

 

If this episode prevents just one person from taking the devastating decision to take their own life, that’s one family who won’t lose a loved one, friends who won’t have to attend the funeral of someone they would have given anything to save and one less avoidable statistic.

 

In advance - thank you for listening and for sharing. 

 

It’s never weak or “unmanly” to talk about our feelings. Let’s quicken the pace of change and save lives now. 

 

Finally if you listen to this episode and need to talk, my DMs are open.
