Mental Health & Resilience with Sir John Kirwan in Whangārei

Together with the Rural Support Trust Te Tai Tokerau (Northland), Westpac are proud to bring Sir John Kirwan to Whangārei for a free talk on mental health and resilience. 

As a Westpac Ambassador of over 10 years, Sir John Kirwan (JK) has a passion for mental health and sharing his own mental health journey with the aim of helping others with theirs.

JK is an All Black legend, but it’s his contributions outside of rugby that have made him one of our most treasured New Zealanders. As Westpac Ambassador, JK is helping New Zealanders understand mental illness, talk more openly with each other, and build supportive networks.

About the event:

At this free event, hear JK speak openly about his own struggles with mental illness while being at the top of his game. He offers insight into the steps he took to manage and learn about his own mental health and the things he does in his daily life to take care of himself not only for him but his family too.

• Doors open at 9:45am, JK will begin speaking at 10:30am. 
• Please stay and join us for a light BBQ lunch and kōrero from 11:30am.  

This is an opportunity not to be missed and a chance to hear and learn from one of New Zealand’s most well-respected All Blacks!
