Farm Yard Brew Co x Six Connections
At Farm Yard we’re all about community. It’s about those social chats over a beer, the laughter, and hanging around with your mates. But it’s also about something more profound – it’s about real, honest conversations, even when things get a bit tougher.
OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH SIX CONNECTIONS
We’re proud to announce our partnership with Six Connections, a mental health organisation that shares our values. Together, we aim to encourage open, honest conversations about mental health. We believe that these conversations should happen not just in times of crisis, but in the good times too. And what’s more normal than grabbing a beer with a mate?
STARTING CONVERSATIONS BEFORE THE CRISIS
Life is full of challenges, and we all face them. Six Connections is all about helping mates talk and support each other in both the good times and the challenging ones. We want to start conversations before they become crises.
I’VE GOT YOU
I’ve Got You is all about bringing mental health conversation into your normal. Letting each other know that you have back up and a listening ear if needed. First and foremost, it’s important that you’re okay. You can only help others if you’re okay yourself. If you are in a good place, you can be there for others.
You don’t have to fix everything, and you don’t need to be an expert. However, it’s good to be prepared. Having some back-up allows you to feel more comfortable and fully focus on the conversation. The contacts we’ve added below have got you too.
A great-tasting beer can be a great conversation starter. Simply listening and supporting the next steps is how we can all be #PoweredByMates.
