It\u2019s tough isn\u2019t it. Even harder if you\u2019re not expecting it.\nFor this episode of Speaking of Suicide, Dan Holland is in Edinburgh to meet and go for a walk with Christo Hudson. Christo is a former commercial pilot. \u00a0When the pandemic took grip on our world and lockdowns became a way of life, like for so many of us, for Christo life changed very suddenly.\nToday he\u2019s a mental health first aid and suicide prevention trainer and it\u2019s his story of going from the cockpit to the classroom that we can all learn something from. Christo describes someone opening up to you as them passing you a red hot ball. So today, we hear how to carefully hold and nurture that red hot ball you\u2019ve been given.\nIf you need someone to talk to, you can text Mikeysline on 07786 20 77 55 or contact via messenger, webchat or twitter.\u00a0 Sun-Thurs 6pm-10pm & Fri-Sat 6pm-11pm.\nOr come and visit at The Hive, 19 Academy Street, Inverness, Sun-Thurs 6pm-10pm & Fri-Sat 6pm-11pm.\nSpeaking of Suicide is made thanks to the support of D&D Paving Ltd.\nThe music is by Tom Ireland with special thanks to Dave Martin\nChristo Hudson\u2019s Black Box Approach","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/af920ee3-a394-4d91-bfa2-4c1b2828e08d/podcast-button-aa-branded-3000x3000-ryp9t3.jpg"}
