  Wendy Robinson: Why We Need To Rethink Suic*de Prevention 06.05.2026 1ч 10мин

  In this episode of Question The Default, Harry is joined by Wendy Robinson, Services Director at CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), to explore how society can better understand and prevent suic*de.With over 10,000 working days spent supporting young people and adults, Wendy shares her journey from singer-songwriter to therapist, and how creativity, communication, and human connection underpin her approach to mental health.The conversation challenges the idea that talking alone is enough, and instead explores how CALM works to “meet people where they are” in order to intercept before a point of crisis.
