Episode 9 is here and in this one I sat down with my great mate, Bailey Turner, who is a young lad who has grown up in the country, a dual citizen of the Eyre Peninsula and the Yorke Peninsula.
In this chat there are plenty of laughs but Bailey also openly speaks about the passing of a loved one through suicide and how that has had an impact on his mental health.
Coming from a rural area where the mantra, especially for males, is usually “I’ll be right” and “just get on with the job”, Bailey casts that stigma aside as he gets extremely raw in this chat and talks about his experience of when he tried to seek professional help.
This was one of the toughest chats I’ve had in my life, Bailey showed so much vulnerability and rawness. I only hope I handled the moment with respect and made him feel comfortable.
Please have a listen and be sure to share with anyone you feel may benefit from hearing Bailey's story.
And if you need any help or support, then be sure to reach out to your support network or the relevant support hotlines in Australia such as Lifeline and Beyond Blue. I've listed their numbers below in case you need them.
