We need to talk about suicide prevention and postvention. In this episode we speak to Professor John Gibson (Emeritus Professor of Oral Medicine, University of Aberdeen) who describes his journey following the unexpected and devastating suicide of his 24 year old son Cameron in 2019. John was part way through walking Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise suicide awareness and funds as part of #onemanwalkingamilliontalking. John gives insight and advice as to what we can do as individuals, teams and society to prevent suicide and help those affected by it.
