Please be aware that this episode contains references to suicide. 

Award-winning producer and Mental Health Campaigner Jon Salmon lost his father to suicide in 1999. With the fear of stigma too great, Jon decided to not speak up about his own mental health struggles until 2016. Speaking alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the launch of Heads Together Mental Health Campaign, Jon now speaks openly about the importance of speaking out to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness, and ultimately, save lives.
