It's about giving confidence to a pretty confident industry, I've got to say, but giving them confidence around the subject matter.
Imagine facing the darkest moment of your life and emerging with a mission to help others. That's the incredible story of Justin Geange, a former Australia's Got Talent contestant and suicide survivor. In this gripping episode of 'Body & Soul', hosts Jason Dasey and Alex Hyndman Hill sit down with Justin to discuss his journey from despair to advocacy.
Now working with Mates in Construction, Justin is dedicated to supporting workers in the construction, energy, and mining sectors who struggle with mental health issues. He shares his personal battle with shame and vulnerability, and how he found strength in helping others. The conversation delves into the critical work being done by Mates in Construction, including awareness sessions and practical tools for identifying and assisting peers in distress.
With the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health, this episode highlights the importance of breaking down stigma and fostering a supportive community within high-stress industries. If you're looking for a story of resilience and hope, this episode is a must-listen.
