Nic was engaging, thought-provoking and provided insights into his mental illness and how he utilised his family, peer, and professional supports in his journey to recover and heal. Nic also highlighted the supports available to our students.
Thank you to Tracey Wanganeen from StandBy Support After Suicide in organising Nic to return to Mount Gambier with the support of Wellbeing SA.
