About the episode
Graeme Holdsworth was a highly successful project manager behind some of Australia’s most iconic buildings, including Melbourne’s Crown Casino and Sydney’s 1 Martin Place. Renowned for his skills and achievements, Graeme seemed to have it all.
But under mounting stress, his behaviour began to change. He became short-tempered, yelled at staff and clients, and eventually found himself unemployed and divorced. Feeling hopeless, he decided it would be better for everyone if he wasn’t around.
Now, Graeme reflects on his experience and the steps he’s taken to rebuild his life. With over 80,000 Australians attempting or planning suicide each year and eight tragically losing their lives each day, Graeme shares the strategies that have helped him stay alive and find happiness again.
