Stop Talking, Start Acting: Addressing the Global Suicide Crisis
We must stop talking about suicide and raising awareness, we must take action, globally.
Why is it that every 20 seconds, someone takes their own life? In this gripping episode of 'From Darkness to Light', host Shama Persson doesn't just ask the tough questions; she demands action.
