  • Resumen

  • Fresh out of high school, eighteen-year-old Quinn from Dannevirke dove eagerly into farm work. But as his dedication consumed him, Quinn found himself spiraling into a dark place, overworked and overwhelmed by feelings of being a burden on those around him. He planned to end his life and sent a goodbye text to his friends. Fortunately, Quinn's friends immediately responded to his message, showing up for him when he needed it the most. Their unwavering support made him realise he wasn't alone and that he deserved the help and care surrounding him.

    Quinn's life reflects the hidden struggles that many in the rural community face, especially within the farming world. In these tight-knit circles, expressing feelings often takes a backseat to the pressures of practicality. The expectation to toughen up and ‘get on with it’ casts a shadow over those battling mental health challenges.

    Quinn emphasises the power of community, urging others to recognise that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a courageous step towards healing.
