Mitch McPherson | SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY
Since the loss of his younger brother Ty to suicide in 2013, Mitch has courageously harnessed his lived experience of loss to encourage our community to speak up about their mental health and take action.
Mitch leads with an extraordinary vision for change. A devoted family man, father and husband, Mitch is just like a mate – he’s a passionate Carlton supporter, lover of sport and avid coffee drinker. He is someone you can relate to.
Through this tragedy, Mitch found his true passion and purpose in life. Mitch has become a “go to” in the Tasmanian community for important discussions and messaging around mental health and suicide prevention.
Mitch shares his story with sensitivity, safe language, and compassion, and cares deeply about prioritising the wellbeing of those in the audience today/tonight. If you feel uncomfortable throughout his presentation, please feel free to leave the room and practice self-care.
