Episode 545-Glen Thurston || Pain, suicide and Guns

Blood Origins, Robbie Kroger. Podcast.

Glen Thurston is the founder of a mental health organisation in New Zealand called ‘Mental Hunts’ -and today he shares his incredible story with Robbie. His story started with the tremendously big step of admitting he had a problem with his mental health, to an ordeal that resulted in him losing his gun license and all hi guns to the authorities in New Zealand.

As a result of that admission, he has really started to think that others may have a similar story and/or need to hear his story to understand that things will be ok.

Glen’s story addresses an important issue occurring around the world as it relates to mental health and guns, as well as pushing back on the ‘conventional wisdom’ from a guy’s perspective, of having to be hard and not admit or talk about your problems.

If your seeking help, know there are recourses available to you in whatever country you’re listening from.
