In this episode, Matt joined brothers Luke and Heath on A Brother's Mind. Five years earlier, Matt had knocked on Heath's door at a moment when Heath was at rock bottom and in this episode the two are reunited. Matt shares his own story: his PTSD diagnosis, being arrested at work, losing his badge, and ultimately co-founding Frontline Mental Health.

The conversation reflects on the impact a single connection or conversation can have during someone's darkest period, and how those experiences shaped Matt's commitment to supporting others across the first responder and frontline community.

What our clients say

Real impact, real results

The facilitators were amazing. I didn't expect that level of depth in this session. The story from Matt with his policing career hit home with me particularly as I'm an ex civilian police officer too.

Workshop Participant

This presentation was more relatable and good to hear from ex-serving police as opposed to mental health facilitators with a clinical background.

Workshop Participant

Workshop delivered by people who have defence/policing experiences makes it easier to relate to situations.

Workshop Participant

All up it was one of the best mental health workshops I've attended.

A lot more content and knowledge and not just a tick in the box. Personal experiences helped show how self care strategies have assisted with mental health issues.

Excellent workshop for defence personnel. Instructors were incredibly knowledgeable about the mental health topic.
