In Australia 8 people take their lives every single day and for every death by suicide it's estimated that 30 people will attempt to take their life.

R U OK Day is a day to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with people around them. Today is all about starting a conversation, so we sat down and did just that - in this special podcast episode we discuss our individual journeys with mental health and what we do to get through life's ups and downs. 

TRIGGER WARNING: This podcast will discuss mental health, suicide and other difficult themes so if this isn't for you, switch off now.
