Students have told of the value of learning about suicide awareness in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Andy Airey, Mike Palmer and Tim Owen – who are known as 3 Dads Walking – have each lost a daughter to suicide and are campaigning for awareness lessons to be mandatory in schools.<\/p>\n

United by their grief, in 2022 they walked 600 miles between all four UK parliaments calling for politicians to consider their request.<\/p>\n

The trio visited Alston Moor Federation, in Cumbria, to see first-hand a suicide prevention course developed by Every Life Matters.<\/p>\n

The Cumbrian charity is working to deliver age-appropriate lessons to young people.<\/p>\n
