Mary O’Brien is the Founder and CEO of Are You Bogged Mate?, a rural men’s mental health charity dedicated to breaking down stigma and helping country men connect with support. Raised on the land, Mary brings a deep understanding of rural life and the challenges faced by regional communities. Her background in agriculture, combined with her ability to communicate in practical, relatable language, has made her a trusted voice for men who are often difficult to reach through traditional mental health messaging. Through a boots-on-theground approach, Mary delivers straight-talking presentations and conversations that use humour analogies to make mental health more accessible and meaningful for blokes.
