This week’s conversation honestly feels like one of the most important episodes I’ve ever recorded. Being released during Mental Health Awareness Week, I recently sat down with the incredible Rose Rowkins for a raw, honest and deeply powerful conversation about suicide prevention, emotional literacy, masculinity, parenting, modern pressure, hope, and the importance of human connection. Statistics still show that around 6,000 - 7,000 people die by suicide every year in the UK. Around 75% are men. Many never speak to a mental health professional before they die. That has to change. One of the biggest things I took away from the ASIST training Rose delivers is this: Suicide prevention does not belong solely to professionals. It belongs to all of us. This conversation explores how we’ve created a world where people often feel safer hiding their pain than speaking about it… and how we can all learn to better show up for each other when it matters most. Rose shares her own lived experience with suicidal thoughts, the devastating loss that shaped her mission, and the life-changing lessons she’s learned through over a decade of suicide prevention work.
