It never fails to astound me that, every minute of every day, another man kills himself somewhere in the world …. at the same time, at least another 20 are trying – My guest tomorrow, Jake Edwards, is a fourth generation AFL player who describes one of his proudest moments in life - running out onto the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in front of 80,000 people.. in the same breath he discloses the lowest point … facing a bathroom mirror, contemplating how to end his life.
7 years later, in 2015 Jake pulled out all the stops and created a welfare and education program for Australian sporting clubs, called "Outside the Locker Room", which in almost 4 years, has become one of the most sought after and well recognised programmes being used by more than 100 grassroots sporting clubs and schools across Australia. Hear what it felt like being Jake Edwards back then and right now
