Cool Change NZ Sisters

A warning: this episode will be discussing suicide and mental health issues. Today's episode is with three very special young women in one of the most powerful, brave and important interview's I've ever done. The Cool Change NZ "sisters", Grace Curtis, Tori Wheelans and Georgie Harris say they’ve been brought together by tragedy, but say they hope they can make the most out of their sad situations. Grace, Tori and Georgie all lost their Dads to suicide. In the midst of unfathomable trauma, they created Cool Change NZ- as a platform for them to speak out about their grief, to discuss how to get through trauma and to campaign for change.  Where to get help: Need to Talk?
