That the Parliament welcomes the launch of the Dunfermline-based male suicide prevention and awareness charity, Tartan Talkers; understands that this is run by a group of committed individuals whose lives have been deeply scarred by suicide and loss, and are now working to prevent male suicide by offering practical and emotional support that is tailor-made to suit different needs and aid recovery; commends the passion and skill of those involved, especially in their dedication to help raise awareness of male suicide and in helping prevent further loss of life; wishes the charity every success in its endeavours to make a difference in supporting men who have reached the critical point of wanting to end their life, and hopes for the successes of the charity moving forward.
