Today on the podcast, Dr Justin chats with Gus Worland ahead of R U OK? Day tomorrow.

Gus is an Australian TV and radio personality and is the founder of the Gotcha4Life Foundation - which delivers what Gus calls 'mental fitness' programs to engage, educate and empower communities, on the way to their vision of zero suicides.

Topics discussed in this episode:
Mental Fitness, and why we need to seek help from those around us.
Raising our hands for help on the beach or in the car park, rather than waiting until we're drowning before raising our hands.
Using technology to check in on those we love.
Formalising who 'your village' is - the people that you can't live without, and work hard on the relationships within the village.




Discover more about Gus' work with Gotcha4Life here, and how you can improve your mental fitness.
