The fascinating history of the Bridgend, illustrated through old and modern pictures.

This in depth analysis looks at how suicide was represented in the British press when 20 young people between the ages of 15 and 29 took their own lives in the South Wales Borough of Bridgend in 2008. The chapters highlight specific categories of description that journalists use to explain suicide to their readers. The study also examines the discourses that emerged around suicide that continue to perpetuate stigma and shame when suicide occurs today. Using her own experience of having lost a loved one to suicide, coupled with original research, the author gives a very frank explanation of why suicide is not accepted in society today.

The Bridgend Young Carers Digital Newsletter, a new way for young adult carers to communicate and share their ideas about being young adult carers. Their role is so precious that through this newsletter, we hope to raise awareness of how important they are to the people they carer for.
