Students shared the value of learning about suicidal awareness in the classroom.
Andy Airey, Mike Palmer and Tim Owen – known as 3 Dads Walking – have each lost a daughter to suicide and are campaigning for awareness classes to be made compulsory in schools.
United by their grief, they walked 600 miles between all four UK parliaments in 2022, urging politicians to consider their motion.
The trio visited the Alston Moor Federation in Cumbria to see firsthand a suicide prevention course developed by Every Life Matters.
The Cumbria charity works to provide age-appropriate education for young people.
