Thankfully, I have had a great response from my chosen interviewees’ and have scheduled some interviews for next week.

​

I will be speaking to Ms Chandler, whose father tragically took his own life 30 years ago. Additionally I will be speaking to Mr Falconer, who set up a charity in honour of his teenage son’s death last year. Both case studies have agreed to speak to me next week at their home addresses.

I will be filming and recording both of the interviews, with the aim of including the video elements of my interviews in my ‘Left Behind’ section of my blog; which illustrates what life is like for the families who are dealing with the aftermath of suicide.

​

I have additionally managed to schedule some interviews with Andy Mayers who is a professor of psychology at Bournemouth University, as well as a Patron and Trustee for the Samaritans of Bournemouth and District and Patron for Dorset Mind. I am meeting with him next week to get his professional opinion on the male suicide epidemic. 

​

I am emailing back and forth with other potential interviewees’ so will have more to update you on in the next few days.
