Aaron Schultz founded The Outback Mind in 2019, establishing it as a health promotion charity, The Outback Mind Foundation, in 2022. Having managed male teams across the construction, mining and manufacturing industries, Aaron could see the need for a preventative approach to mental health to help men in regional Australia. Previously suffering from anxiety and burnout in his own life, Aaron became a teacher of yoga, meditation, and anxiety management education.
Things we chat about:
- Aaron’s journey growing The Outback Mind Foundation from regional Queensland to serve larger communities
- His personal ‘aha’ moment and what drives him to help others
- Mental health stigma, particularly for men
- Yoga and meditation as a powerful tool
- Weaknesses in our education and health systems which are reactive instead of proactive
- Lack of support services in regional Australia
- Wellbeing in the workplace
- The role of diet and physical activity in mental health
