Coronation Street *SU TRIGGERS*
It's not one I watch, not one I've ever really watched, but I think this is brilliant.
Aidan Connor is going to take his own life. The writers have worked closely with mental health charities and CALM and the Samaritans are having extra people available on their helplines.
I know that so many will complain about how dark the storyline is and about how they can explain it to their children, but it shouldn't be hidden away like some dirty little secret. Mental illness and suicide should not be taboo. If this encourages just one man to reach out and seek help in his darkest hours, then that to me is a success.
