Portraits of Mankind
James Hill
James Hill is a speaker for Beyond Blue, a Mental Health First Aid instructor, suicide safeTALK instructor and mental health advocate for Energy Queensland..
But James wasn’t always aware of the importance of understanding and looking after your own mental health wellbeing. His own struggles led him to contact Beyond Blue and now he believes by openly sharing his own mental illness experience, Mr Hill is helping to create better awareness of mental health issues in communities. “I share my story as often as I can where it’s valuable,” he says.
“The environment I was working in very much had a mentality of ‘toughen up’ and that was my biggest undoing.”
