Bereaved father leads NHS movement against suicide It has been a painful journey for Steve Mallen, whose 18-year-old son killed himself in 2015.
Edward Mallen was a talented student who had won a place at Cambridge University.
The inquest into his death found he had "slipped through the cracks" of local NHS mental health services.
At Edward's funeral, his father vowed to investigate what had happened and fight for reform to prevent other deaths.
That vow has turned into a remarkable personal campaign, culminating with the foundation and launch of a movement across the NHS, the Zero Suicide Alliance. BBC News
