This episode of Mate Helping Mate found us in the village of Springdale, NSW. John was joined by “young pups”, agronomist Emma Robinson, and farmers Ben Kotzer and Michael Sinclair, along with a few locals who came along to listen in and be part of the chat. Folks took the mic to offer their personal perspectives about growing up, what wisdom we gain from our childhood and the positive changes we need to ensure the next generation is a more prepared to action these strategies addressing mental health and wellbeing - that you don't just pull your socks up, you need to talk to acknowledge the problem. Themes that came to the surface related to coping with intergenerational trauma and how the nature of farming has changed.
