Last night I watched 'How the Scots in vented the modern world' on television. I was pleasantly surprised to learn how many great inventors and thinkers our wee nation has produced so I decided to find out just which innovations we are actually responsible for.

SUICIDE. DON'T HIDE IT. TALK ABOUT IT.
Choose Life campaign kick starts Suicide Prevention Week in Scotland, 7-13 September. I'm lucky enough to be involved with Choose Life as a volunteer media representative and have taken an active part in Suicide Prevention Week. On 1st September I was honoured to speak at the Scottish Parliament on my own experience of a failed suicide attempt and the stressers which led me to take such drastic action. I also spoke to Radio Scotland and The Herald newspaper about the effect the current economic climate can have on mental health and both interviews came out today. I'm looking forward to further media involvement as we try to de-stigmatise the subject of suicide thereby encouraging people to talk about it.
