What was said

""In over 90% of cases where a man takes his own life in the UK, he's already gone to some form of mental health counseling. So it's not just the talking about it thing.""

Chris Williamson claims that in over 90% of UK male suicide cases, the man had already had some form of mental health counselling. He offers no source for the figure and argues that prevention is not only about encouraging men to talk.
