Mike Palmer lost his daughter to suicide when she was just 17. Teaming up with fellow bereaved fathers, Tim & Andy, they formed ‘3 Dads Walking’. Together they are raising awareness of suicide in young people, campaigning for mental health education within the school cirriculum and raising funds for the Papyrus prevention of young suicide charity.
Mike joined White Fox Talking for a very powerful conversation about losing Beth, the shocking number of young people who take their own lives, and the 3 Dads Walking 2022 project.
