Walk for a Bloke – Let’s Talk About Men's suicide prevention. Part 1 of 2
Manage episode 472940528 series 3552754
Join Dave Quak as he sits down with Zac, Jared, and Brad for a raw and real chat about men’s suicide prevention. This one’s personal, powerful, and packed with purpose. The crew chats about the Walk for a Bloke event on the Gold Coast (25km from Surfers to Cooly), and why initiatives like this are more important than ever.
We’re not here to sugar-coat anything — this is about showing up for your mates, starting real conversations, and walking side by side through the heaviness men often carry in silence.
If you’re a man who’s been on the edge, or you know someone who is, this episode’s for you.
In this episode:
☑️ Why the walk matters
☑️ What we’ve all faced personally
☑️ Mental health in the trades and everyday Aussie bloke life
☑️ The heart behind Spoke to a Bloke
☑️ How to get involved and support
