"5 Years Ago I Was on Life Support." One Franchisee's Story.

A Jim's Building Inspections franchisee drove 10 hours to share the story behind his truck.
Five years ago he attempted to take his own life. He woke up in hospital on life support.

Today he uses his vehicle to start conversations about mental health and connect people with TIACS counselling support.

This is his talk, in full. No slides. Just his story.

He covers:

Why mental illness affects anyone, regardless of job or success
How Jim's Building Inspections gave him purpose and direction
Why he wrapped TIACS branding on his truck and fought to get permission
How one simple question can bridge the gap between struggling and speaking up
Why vulnerability is strength, not weakness

If this helps one person ask for help, it was worth it.
Check in on your mates. You never know what someone is carrying.
If you or someone you know is struggling, contact TIACS on 0488 846 988
