#68 - The suicide epidemic, and what to do about it with Nick Bracks

"Nick Bracks has spent the past decade as a Passionate Advocate for Mental Health Issues, spreading his message all over the world. In line with his work in the entertainment industry; as an Actor and Personality, Nick uses his voice and platform to educate through mediums such as his training company, seminars, public awareness, supporting initiatives, and day to day conversations. Having conducted over 1,000 mental health seminars and training workshops, Nick’s message has been delivered at some of the world’s largest employers, government organisations, schools and universities.  Nick’s early career in the fashion and entertainment industries ultimately led him to his ongoing work in mental health awareness. He earned international modelling contracts and made regular appearances on Australian television as a presenter as well as a personality. During his time on Dancing with the Stars, Nick publicly spoke about his experience with depression and anxiety for the first time.  Nick has advocated alongside some of Australia’s largest mental health-focussed organisations by candidly recounting the mental health issues he has struggled with since age 11, including a particularly difficult period when injury forced an early end to his initial career as a competitive athlete."  Source: TEDx Talks
