The Menfulness Podcast Live: World Suicide Prevention Day Special (with the CDLF)

CONTENT WARNING: Suicide/Grief
On World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 we got together with Alex Lancaster and Victoria Taylor from the Charlie Dallas Lancaster Foundation, Jack Woodhams, Founder and Trustee for Menfulness and Frankie Sewell, one of our members and volunteers to talk about one of the most stigmatised subjects in our society, suicide.
We talk to Alex and Victoria about Charlie, what they did to cope with his tragic death by suicide in 2020 and how they have bravely turned their experience into a beautiful Foundation charity which works so hard to support so many people.
We hear an honest and heartfelt account from our volunteer and member Frankie Sewell about his experiences of suicidality and how he helps people by sharing his story.
We also speak to Jack Woodhams, one of our founders and trustees about his charity work and his projects helping prevent suicide among young people.
As you may expect, this conversation is tough at times but it's also hopeful and full of insight and unique perspectives on one of the most important yet least talked about subjects of our time.
Don't forget to have a look at the links below and if you’re feeling suicidal remember you are not alone. Please call the Samaritans (who you can call 24/7 on 116 123) or have a look on their website below. There is hope so just take it one day at a time and remember, you are of value, things can get better and it’s OK to ask for help.
