September 3: Fathers and Daughters – Father’s Day Special
Madonna King …
in conversation with Bill Kable

What do our girls think about their fathers? And what are fathers struggling with when it comes to their relationship with their daughters?

Exploring a father’s role in his daughter’s life from a daughter’s perspective as well as the father’s, Madonna examines the key issues that arise to help families navigate the sometimes very difficult moments. She reveals why daughters turn against their fathers, teen rebellion, discipline, sexual education, the impact of broken families, how much influence a father can/should have and what you can do to repair a broken relationship.

September 10: Profiles in Hope - World Suicide Prevention Day
John Brogden … in conversation with Bill Kable

Every day nine Australians take their own lives. Nineteen years ago John Brogden came very close to adding his name to these statistics. But John survived and since his recovery he has become a passionate voice for mental health and suicide prevention. Now he is the Honorary President of LifeLine International. 

Personally and professionally John knows how urgent it is to talk openly about suicide and to provide people in despair with a way back when they are at their lowest point. Giving hope to those who think there is no other answer is critical. John is living proof that it’s possible to survive and thrive. 

In Profiles in Hope, John has gathered together some incredible Australians to tell their stories. With contributions from people such as James Packer, Jacqui Lambie, Layne Beachley and Ian Thorpe, alongside powerful stories of ordinary Aussies, these deeply personal accounts of survival and recovery are a beacon of light to those struggling.
