Trigger Warning: Child Suicide
In this incredibly powerful episode, host Rosie Gill-Moss talks about the death of a child with Stuart Falconer.
Morgan was just 15 when he died from suicide, leaving friends and family reeling.
This is something that we all fear, and often don’t want to think about, but staying silent isn’t helping, young people are dying and we have to talk about it.
This episode is, of course, a difficult listen but ultimately a very important one. Sadly sometimes unimaginably terrible things happen, and this is one man’s story of how he fought back.
We discuss the complexities of grief, the importance of support networks, and the role of The OLLIE Foundation, which Stuart co-founded to raise awareness and provide training for those working with young people.
