Ep 9: Adversity and resilience

We talk about adversity and mentoring with Pete Palmer, coach of the under 20s North Sydney Bears, Garry Sims, RUOK ambassador, and Nic Danta, principal of the Penrith Valley Learning Centre and this week's singer/songwriter. In response to Nic's song about his friend who took her life, Garry makes the point that everyone's life is valuable. He says he will also be giving an RUOK presentation at the biennial NSW Police Force Aboriginal employees conference at Goulbourn later in the year because Indigenous rates of suicide are higher than the rest of the community. Pete also discloses that his mother was a member of the stolen generations.
