Gamekeeping is a wonderful life, but a lonely one. Gamekeepers and other rural workers have one of the highest suicide rates of any occupation. Part of the problem is keepers not seeking help for fear of losing their firearms, job and family home. We talk to keepers and families affected, and find out what help is available for those who are struggling.
