Around every two hours, someone takes their own life. In the UK about 6,000 people make that decision every year. On Friday an event is trying to start to break the taboo over talking about suicide. Leading the discussion will be the prominent QC Michael Mansfield, whose daughter took her own life in May. You can find the details for his event here: http://www.mansfieldchambers.co.uk/the-silence-of-suicide/
