20. Has the perception of mental health changed from ‘the old days’ to now?

  • Summary

  • Our second recording out in the Temora Shire saw John joined by “old farts” as he calls them, but also old pals Fiona Raleigh, Andrew Lockley and Ron Stimson. It was great to welcome other local voices who took a seat in the audience and contributed their thoughts too. The chats honed in on the differing perspectives of oldies (Old Farts) versus youngens (Young Pups) and what may be learned through these differences, the benefits of a more open mental health dialogue today and how life for rural people has changed and why connection and community is more important than ever.


    A big shout out to John Harper for putting his heart and soul into this important work and getting us on the road. Thank you again to The Department of Primary Industries and their Farm Business Resilience Program who have gotten behind the podcast.

    We are stoked to bring you this episode and look forward to hearing your thoughts!
