Bereaved father campaigns for suicide prevention training in schools

What happened: John Gibson, whose 24-year-old son Cameron died by suicide in 2019, is calling for suicide prevention training to be introduced in every school.

Why it matters:

  • Suicide prevention education could help young people recognise warning signs and seek help.
  • Schools and communities may become better equipped to support mental health and reduce suicide rates.

MNN Take: The campaign highlights the importance of mental health awareness in educational settings to potentially save lives by providing early intervention skills.
