\u201cCool to Korero\u201d <\/p>\n

Well known for years as a high profile Kiwi entertainer \u2013 Mike King\u2019s role has certainly changed, since the conception of his radio show The Nutters Club in 2009. The show evolved from Mike\u2019s own experience of mental illness and addiction and has become a huge success. Mikes aim is to \u2018forever change the way people feel, think, talk and behave in relation to mental health.\u2019 <\/p>\n

He has now gained great respect as a prominent mental health educator with the work he does under his charity The Key to Life Charitable Trust, which aims to reverse the population trends of depression and suicide by effecting positive social change. <\/p>\n

Mike takes a completely unorthodox approach and is getting out into schools to talk with the youth and communities, engaging them so that the conversation will continue and not be swept under the carpet any longer. Mike\u2019s message is one of hope – connecting people, services and resources within the community \u2013 and spreading the word that it is \u201cCOOL TO KORERO\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mike King<\/h2>\n

Mike King has for years been known as the iconic Kiwi entertainer but that role has changed dramatically since the conception of his hugely popular radio show “The Nutters Club”. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The show evolved from Mike\u2019s own experience of mental illness and addiction and has become a huge success. The aim of the show is to \u2018forever change the way people feel, think, talk and behave in relation to mental health\u2019.<\/p>\n

These days Mike is better known for his work as a prominent mental health educator and motivational speaker with the work he does under his charity and with his conference speaking. Mike’s aim is to reverse the population trends of depression and suicide by effecting a positive social change.<\/p>\n

Mike works with all levels within an organisation to help with mental health and safety in the workplace. His message tells of how he overcame drug and alcohol addiction, and his continued battle against depression. It is accessible and pertinent to all staff and often helps companies identify anyone who may be struggling and in need of further assistance.<\/p>\n

Whether you need a speaker to tackle some of the big issues or simply want your audience to be moved and inspired look no further than Mike King!<\/p>\n
