Are you bogged mate? with Mary O'Brien

  • Summary

  • We all get bogged sometimes, it's nothing to be ashamed of and getting a hand up when you need it can go a long way. Are you bogged mate? is all about helping country blokes talk about mental health and suicide while spreading awareness about depression in the bush.

    Depression in the bush is a lot like getting bogged in the mud. It might have been just a sticky patch of the road or paddock where the vehicle stopped moving, maybe you needed low range or to winch yourself out. But what happens when you get properly bogged? Founder, Mary O'Brien was raised on the land and after spending her whole life working in rural and remote Australia, she knows country blokes. She’s worked with them, for them and beside them and mostly importantly she knows how to talk to them. Country blokes are facing challenges like never before but it doesn’t mean you need to get stuck in the mud. There are plenty places to go to get a tow and it takes guts to admit you’re bogged. Mary's on a mission to make sure you and your mates are connected with the right hands to pull you out.
