Mr Davies said you won’t be turned away if you turn up on the night.

Mr Davies has spoken for almost seven years across Australia and has held recovery talks following droughts, brushfires and other natural disasters.

After starting a farming business in the Goulburn Valley, his mental health spiralled, and he had to leave his farm, symbolically unclipping his identity and feeling like a complete failure.

From there, he restarted his life and became a mental health advocate, sharing his story with like-minded rural people and providing inspiration.

“Rural communities are such great places to live in, but we’re often guarded about the things we share,” Mr Davies said.

“Inspiring those conversations is important; by sharing my story, I’m able to give people permission to share theirs and empower people to get help if they need it.”
