More about Jeremy Forbes

Jeremy is a tradie who saw something dark and sad happening amongst tradespeople. It is a big problem, the sort that people generally shy away from addressing. He wanted to call a halt to it. So, he opened the floodgates and galvanised a community into taking action.

The blurb describing Jeremy’s TEDtalk explains, very simply the importance of taking care of mental health;

‘Jeremy’s TED talk was about the need for a whole-of-community approach to suicide prevention. In his talk, titled ‘The stereotype of the superstrong macho male can be fatal’, he spoke about HALT’s origins in Castlemaine and the bigger picture of what we can do as a community to reduce alarmingly high rates of suicide.’
