Synopsis.
Despite suicide rates actually declining – it’s the lowest in 30 years – suicide remains the leading cause of death for men aged under 50 in England and Wales. 
For many friends, relatives and partners of those how have taken their own life, suicide is a question of why. Yet they will never get to hear the answer. We all have a mate, a colleague, a brother, a partner, a nephew, a father – a man in our lives who could be struggling. We need to get more men talking. These three guys are here to start the conversation.
