Mary O’Brien from Are You Bogged Mate? sits down on the couch with the fellas for this episode and talks all things mens mental health. After spending her whole life working in rural and remote Australia, Mary knows country blokes. She’s worked with them, for them, and beside them and mostly importantly she knows how to talk to them. This unique perspective inspired the launch of Are you bogged mate? which is aimed help connect country men with support services and breakdown the stigma associated with seeking help.
