Pharma Prescribed with Amelia Wrighton, CEO & Co-Founder of Suicide & Co; Rebuilding Lives: Finding Hope After the Trauma of Suicide Loss

*A warning, that this episode discusses important but potentially difficult topics including suicide, if you are in crisis please seek professional help. I’m Adam Walker a Biometrics consultant, and this is the Pharma Prescribed Podcast—where leaders, innovators, and hidden voices in healthcare open up. No soundbites. No spin. Just raw insight—one prescription at a time. In an industry driven by data, protocols, and pressure, we rarely pause to ask the human questions: What drives us? What breaks us? And what truths live behind the titles we wear? Amelia Wrighton is the Co-Founder and CEO of the charity Suicide & Co. Her commitment to suicide bereavement is rooted in her lived experience, and is a powerful thread running through her work and leadership.  Amelia lost her mum to suicide at the age of 19, a moment that reshaped her life and set her on a path of advocacy, support and systemic change.  Instead of allowing that loss to remain silent, she chose to transform it into action, co‑founding the organisation, Suicide & Co in 2020, dedicated to helping people navigate the complex, often overlooked journey of bereavement by suicide. She has developed services that offer counselling, guidance and a sense of community for those who suddenly find themselves in a world that doesn’t always know how to talk about traumatic grief.  The charity has been transformative in supporting my family's grief journey to recovery, since losing my darling younger sister Naomi to suicide in September 2024 and for that I will be eternally grateful.
