Mental Health is a problematic issue around the world that until recently has often been ignored. Ben Brooksby is the founder of The Naked Farmer, a social media movement aiming to break down the difficult conversational barriers that often lay in front of people struggling to speak up on whats going on inside. By using the liberating combination of nudity and farm work, the Naked Farmer is starting conversations about mental health across Australia because at the end of the day it’s easier to talk about what’s inside once someone has bared everything on the outside.
But Ben is has also suffered from his own battles with mental health. He also knows first hand the struggles associated with busy periods on the farm in particular harvest. I thought he would be the best person to reach out to and have him share his story and what has helped him overcome his battle with mental health. But his knowledge and first hand experience of surviving through the harvest season he has some incredible tips and advice for us all.
He didn't mention in the interview but he has also just released a book, so please make sure you had over and check that out too!
