• Jim was visiting a suicide awareness group in Dublin 15 as part of a TV documentary.
• The programme had a big impact on people throughout Ireland when the piece aired in July 2012.
• After the show many people contacted Jim, sharing their own stories and offering to help.
• Jim wondered though, help with what? • He wasn’t doing anything…..Yet! .
