Ed's Story

Location: Cluny Farm

Life on the farm can be challenging, with isolation, ongoing farm demands, and unpredictable weather all contributing to stress. When Ed began experiencing these pressures, he turned to RAW after a recommendation from his brother, using the service alongside other resources to support his mental wellbeing.

In the space of about nine months Ed lost his father to cancer and a close friend to suicide. That's when he reached out for some extra support from RAW.

“[My brother] recommended me to catch up with RAW and so Julia got in touch. Without RAW, there’s no one else running around in the country. You’ve either got to do tele-health or drive down to town. So it is really important.”
