Staying Safe: Breaking the Silence Around Suicide

In this powerful episode of The Black Country Blokes, we sit down with Rob Shipley and David Stocks to talk openly about suicide prevention, the work of the Suicide Alliance, and the life-saving impact of having a Suicide Safety Plan. Together, we unpack real stories, practical tools, and why it’s so vital to speak up, not bottle it up.
