The Shaka Project: On a Mission to Stop Suicide | Sean Phillip

Sean Phillip is the Founder of The Shaka Project, an increasingly recognisable charity doing big things for mental health in Australia. Sean shared his personal story on the podcast 3 years ago, so this time around we spoke about what life’s been like since then, the highs and lows of working in this space, and our thoughts on where men's mental health is at now.Sean dedicates his days to travelling around the country presenting talks to many different organisations and he does it all while being a dad, a partner, a son and a mate.Sean also takes it upon himself to personally console the loved ones of those who've recently died by suicide, who reach out to The Shaka Project for support every week.Each heartbreaking loss hits him hard, but he and the rest of the Shaka Project team keep pushing on to change the future of mental health for the better. ------ This episode is proudly sponsored by our mates at The Shaka Project.  The Shaka Project was designed to ignite the conversation around mental health.  Encouraging connection, mateship and brotherhood through the Shaka. Inspired by a dads love for his mates and his kids.  Go to theshakaproject.com to find out more about the epic work these guys are doing, grab yourself some merch and follow their journey @theshakaproject on Instagram
