Show Notes
Welcome to the **Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast**!
In this special episode, recorded for **World Suicide Prevention Day 2020**, our hosts **Dr. Andrew Tresidder** and **Dr. Peter Bagshaw** are joined by **Louise Finnis from Public Health** to discuss **suicide prevention and what is happening on the day** in detail.
During the conversation, they cover **how you can be one of the 100+ people we aim to encourage to complete a short, online suicide awareness course from the Zero Suicide Alliance on the day**, **how suicide prevention is everybody’s business**, **what you can do to seek help if you need it** and much more as they dig deep into their professional experience and their own lives to share their expert insight.
The **SEW podcast** is a **free weekly show** hosted by **Dr. Andrew Tresidder** and **Dr. Peter Bagshaw**. In each episode, the doctors discuss a different topic related to mental and emotional wellbeing and often invite **expert guests** to join them in conversation. The show is aimed at the people of Somerset and beyond; the advice and guidance provided should apply to anybody who needs it, whenever they need it.
