The following video includes themes of suicide which may trigger some viewers.
Note: Both Exordium and the author would like to acknowledge the recent move away from the use of the phrasing ‘to commit suicide’, and hope that its use in this video does not offend any viewers. This video was created a number of years ago, although we at Exordium feel that it remains a highly educational and thought-provoking resource for interested viewers. It is our hope that its inclusion in this issue can also assist in the overall destigmatisation of discussions on suicide.
