Sir John Kirwan Recap: 6 Pillars for Daily Mental Health

6 Pillars for Daily Mental Health with Sir John Kirwan


Sir John Kirwan is a New Zealand Mental Health advocate, former
All Black, and former rugby union coach.


He has written two books on the subject of mental health, has
spoken openly about his battles with depression, and been
honoured for his services to mental health.


John spoke openly about his struggles with mental health and how
he no longer wanted to stick around to deal with it. He got to an
incredibly low point and tried to jump out of a window, but
instead chose not to when a fellow rugby player told him he was a
good guy.


John has established the Sir John Kirwan Foundation to help young
people understand mental health. He has also co-founded a
workplace wellbeing platform with tech entrepreneur Adam Clark
called Groov. Groov is being used by leading workplaces across
New Zealand and Australia, including DB Breweries, Kiwibank,
Barfoot & Thompson, and the Royal Australasian College of
Surgeons. 


This episode is definitely one for the books. John was so open,
honest and vulnerable and I certainly learnt a lot from him.
Please share this with all of your loved ones.
