He may have arrived in New Zealand this week as the coach of the Japanese Rugby Team, but this Friday on Maori Television John Kirwan is an inspiration of another kind. The unofficial patron of the Nutters Club is widely praised for his efforts in raising awareness of depression. In this one-hour Nutters Club special, he talks to Mike King and Dr David Codyre about his writing, understanding and living with depression, and how wellness is something we need do work at every day.

“JK is big in every sense: the legendary player, the physical size of the guy, says series director Marcus Clayton. “We knew that interviewing JK would be magic for the series, and he brought it all: every idea, notion and inspiring word that has shaped his journey
back to wellness. There was a genuine buzz in the studio that day, I think viewers
will pick on that when they watch the Nutters Club ‘patron’ sharing from
the heart.”
