We are in conversation with Kate Shand, the topic: Teen Su***de. After the su***de of her son in 2011, Kate started writing as a lifeline – her words became a book and in 2013 BOY was published. We speak about giving children the language and the words, that su***de shouldn’t be a secret. “We cannot measure the value of life cut short by su***de. We cannot calculate the impact a person might had had on the world around them or on the people whose lives they may have touched. But through a partnership between survivors, business and community leaders, scientists and dedicated individuals we can vanish this needless tragedy” ~ SADAG.
