Zac Franich, from The Bachelor NZ and Dancing with the Stars, spoke to our Year 12 Health cohort yesterday, on his battle with mental health issues.
Zac’s mental health battle began in 2015 after he was selected as part of a two-person team to compete in the Canoe Sprint World Championships in Milan. He was elated, but his racing partner wasn’t happy with the selection and appealed it in the high court.
During the session with us, Zac shared his difficult journey, provided some advice, and answered questions from the floor.
