Nick Mair is a dedicated mental health advocate and ambassador who's passionate about raising awareness of Mental Health challenges and also the number of ways people can get support. As the founder of Mental Health Pack, he's made significant strides in promoting mental health awareness and providing essential resources to individuals and organizations. His journey into the mental health field has been driven by his own raw and deep personal challenges and experiences, which is why he wants to continue to help in breaking the stigma surrounding mental health issues

He is a licensed Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Instructor, a role in which he has trained countless individuals in recognizing the signs of mental health issues and providing initial support. His training sessions are known for their engaging content, practical advice, and compassionate approach.

In addition to this, he has put together a number of initiatives within his Mental Health Pack, to help promote connection, collaboration and conversation. He talks about these and their importance within the episode.

I want to acknowledge Nick for his willingness to share his real life experience with suicidal ideation as raw and openly as he did within this episode. It was a true honour to sit and listen to his story, his reflections and something that both he and I are extremely passionate about...the role "Hope" plays in the Mental Health space.
