This week’s issue of The People’s Friend (30th May 2020) contains my article about a fascinating organisation: The Lions Barber Collective.
It was set up by barber, Tom Chapman, after the sudden death of a friend through suicide. Tom realised that a barber shop was a safe place where men could talk, and his Lions Barber Collective trains barbers around the world in how to spot the early signs of suicide.
