Mum urges parents to talk about suicide

Gabrielle Joseph was 16 when she took her own life.

Her mother Julie Joseph, from Briton Ferry, Neath Port Talbot, said she “aches every day” for her daughter, who died seven years ago.

She also called for more parents to speak more directly with their children about suicide.

It comes as charities said more children and young people were calling their help lines about suicidal feelings.
