David Hunt is a successful third generation farmer, your typical hard-working, no-nonsense, straight-talking kind of a guy.
Hawkes Bay Dairy Chairperson for Federated Farmers, David Hunt joins The Nutters Club to share the dramatic story of his rapid descent into chronic depression and the deep dark pits of despair in which he found himself.
With his life, family and business on the line, recovery was a tough, drawn-out process that serves as an inspirational message to farmers and indeed anyone who needs to hear a message of hope.
Farmers are one of the highest suicide risk groups in New Zealand society and it was the death of a colleague that motivated David to stand up and share his own story in the hope that it might inspire others to get help.
