Kerre talks to mental health advocate Mike King, who was last night named Kiwibank 2019 New Zealander of the Year.

Drawing from his own personal experiences, King has bought the serious issues of depression, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide to public attention.

Working alongside other mental health professionals, King has been the driving force of many initiatives to shift the way we think about mental health including with the Key to Life Charitable Trust and The Nutters Club.
