The Rural Support Trust, in proud partnership with ANZ, Bayleys, BDO, Datamars Livestock, Fonterra, and Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), are excited to bring the Time Out Tour to Lincoln University on September 25, 2024, for an exciting event.

Our ambassador, farmer and TV personality, Matt Chisholm, might have removed the biggest stressor in his life when he left the newsroom, but his struggles continued. Eventually, he was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. So, what tools does he use to manage his anxiety and remain mentally fit for life? What other tools are out there that may help? How can we help people who are struggling? Join Matt for an important and entertaining yarn that’ll help you look after your greatest assets - you and the people around you.

The Rural Support Trust has partnered with Matt Chisholm to help rural communities continue the conversation about mental health. With the support of the regional Rural Support Trusts across New Zealand, we’re once again bringing Matt to a rural venue near you.

Chisholm has had personal experience of mental health struggles, and the Time Out Tour gives him a chance to share with rural communities how he found a way through.

The event will start at 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm with tea and coffee to follow.

Venue Location: Inaka and Patiki rooms, Waimarie, Lincoln University, Ellesmere Junction Road, Lincoln
