Guest Speaker: John Harper from Mate helping Mate.
John Harper’s a wheat and sheep farmer from Stockinbingal, NSW.
He describes himself as an ‘ordinary joker’, but after being bitten by the black dog he’s lived an extraordinary life.
The fact of the matter is that we all need support, and there is no shame or judgement in that. And part of that is ensuring that you have someone around you where you feel welcome and listened to.
John Harper started Mate helping Mate, initially to help other farmers in district who were like himself, battling drought and not dealing with the stress that came with it.
From that initial idea by John the project has now gained acceptance nationally and continues to help people in rural areas.
John has travelled extensively in Australia talking about his own experiences with depression and mental health and the value of getting together with mates and talking.
Entertainment by:
The Lolohea Brothers, will be playing their sweet tunes until late
