Ros Patton is a Senior Project Officer for the Suicide Prevention Project and the owner and a manager of a mixed-operation farm. Ros works full-time with her husband and their two sons, managing sheep, cattle, and crops, on their farm near Condobolin and spends her spare time volunteering within her community.

In this episode, Ros shares her passion for destigmatising mental health in rural communities, hoping that mental illness will once be as easy to talk about and seek help for as any other medical issue. Plus, you’ll hear Ros discuss the first steps involved in seeking help for yourself or someone else.
