This Can Happen to Anyone: NHS worker shares impact of losing a colleague to suicide
When Steve Taylor lost a colleague to suicide in 2021 – someone he describes as “a rock” – the shock rippled through his NHS team, a group dedicated to supporting people with suicidal thoughts. The experience showed him, more than ever, that suicide can touch anyone, even those working hardest to prevent it. Now, with the Baton of Hope arriving in Leeds on World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September), Steve is determined to honour his colleague and share a message of hope and awareness.
