Nick Bracks
Nick Bracks is well known in Australia for his modelling career, various high profile businesses, his stint on Dancing with the Stars, a role in Neighbours and his advocacy work in the mental health space. With one person every 40 seconds across the world taking their own life, this idea about removing stigma around the area of mental health is now more important than ever. Nick has his own story about his past struggles and totally owns where he has been and what he has done and how moving his mind allowed him to step into a new way of thinking to release himself from negative thoughts that plagued his younger life.
