Rob Mokaraka is an actor/writer who had a public mental and spiritual breakdown in Point Chevalier, Auckland, New Zealand - 2009. In the storm of suicidal ideation, Rob provoked the police to shoot him dead on the street, outside his house. He ignored the warning from police and took another step, which resulted in him being shot in the chest at close range. After multiple surgeries, multiple court cases, multiple therapies, 7yrs later Rob created a tool for healing and educating communities and organisations about mental wellbeing, suicide prevention and after care when someone you love has taken their life. His theatre show/seminar is called, Shot Bro - Confessions Of A Depressed Bullet, which is invited around Australasia.
