The It’s All About People Personalisation Podcast26 Maj

Ep 93. It's not weak to speak: Preventing suicide in Lincolnshire

Warning message: This podcast includes conversations about suicide and features people with lived experience sharing their personal stories. While these perspectives are important and meaningful, some listeners may find the content distressing or triggering. Please take care while listening and consider your wellbeing. Support resources are available if you need them

In this powerful and deeply moving podcast, Alison is joined by Adrian Ellis, who shares his lived experience of losing his son George to suicide just over five years ago, and how that loss has driven him to make a difference.

Adrian speaks with honesty and courage about his journey, using his experience to support children and young people in schools. His sessions are shaping how the next generation understands mental health, encouraging them to talk more openly about their feelings and, crucially, to listen to one another.

As part of Lincolnshire’s Suicide Prevention Lived Experience Forum, Adrian works alongside others who have been personally affected by suicide, as well as Kate Cooper and Ellie Gallacher from Lincolnshire County Council’s Public Health team (find out more about Kate and Ellie's work in Podcast 92). Together, they are helping to influence real change, from raising awareness to developing initiatives that encourage people to reach out for support.

Adrian’s hope is ambitious but clear: to help build a Zero Suicide Society. This podcast brings that vision to life through real experience, compassion, and a belief that change is possible.

Take time to listen. You’ll come away with a deeper understanding, and a renewed sense of how we can all play a part.
