Male Suicide
Dr Chetna Kang and Sophie Sulehria focus on male suicide.
Suicide is the biggest killer of young men in England and Wales.
In 2012 over 4,500 men took their own lives and the trend suggests that the figure for 2013 will be higher.
Although the facts are shocking, there is lots of work being done to try and prevent people, particularly men, taking their own lives.
Today we'll talk to local people who have lost loved ones to suicide and to someone who has tried to take their own life.
We'll also find out about some of the work happening to prevent suicide.
