Today we have part two of our conversation with a medically retired police officer from the United Kingdom, Ken Anderson. After a brief recap of the life-saving encounter he had on an edge of cliff in the moment before he would take his own life, we'll rejoin the conversation with Ken and talk about the aftermath and his new mission to de-stygmatize the conversation about mental health.

This episode contains discussion of depression that leads to a suicide attempt. Listener discretion is advised.
