1. Introducing Solving Suicide

Suicide is something that will probably affect us all. So, why aren’t more of us talking about it?

Solving Suicide aims to blow the conversation wide open by bringing together the great at the good in suicide prevention. Our aim is to hold powerful conversations that will help deepen understanding, share solutions and zero the death rate.

Episode 1 is an orientation to tell you:

• what the podcast is about
• who the heck your host is
• who we think you are (and why you might enjoy listening)
• plus, any other business, and some faqs to answer all your questions about how the podcast will run, a few editorial decisions, and why we’ve decided not to swear (sorry!)

This episode is brought to you by Dark Coffee – development coaching to get your work and wellbeing working better together so you can feel like a badass in business.
