In this episode of Question The Default, Harry is joined by Professor Rory O’Connor, one of the world’s leading suic*de prevention researchers and Director of the Suic*dal Behaviour Research Lab at the University of Glasgow.

Drawing on more than three decades of research, Rory explores the science behind suic*dal thoughts, the social inequalities that increase risk, and why simple human connection can be life-saving in moments of crisis.

Question The Default is in support of Campaign Against Living Miserably.
