Bill WhittingBill Whitting has worked tirelessly for 15 years as an advocate for men and support for farmers struggling with depression and loneliness. A sought-after presenter and speaker at national conferences and men's gatherings, Bill is known for his compasion, his insight and for 'walking the talk'. A constant search for personal betterment and growth has seen Bill opt for the road less travelled throughout his extraordinary life.As a longstanding member of the Master Builders Association, Bill worked extensively throughout the industry for 30 years before leaving to pursue qualifications with The Counsellors and Psychotherapists Association of NSW - a quest in part for answers to his personal life struggles. He also joined Toastmasters International to gain a forum to speak, be heard and be evaluated, later becoming president of the organisation. This role was followed by Bill gaining the position as Project Coordinator for OM: NI (Older Men: New Ideas), working as the key facilitator for men's support groups around the country and later founding CHAFF (Crisis Help Assisting Forgotten Farmers) a mobile men's mental health service.
