From the outside, he looked like he had it all together.

A dad. A husband. A business owner. A carpenter. An SES volunteer. Someone others could rely on.

But behind the scenes, Daniel Hills was struggling with his mental health — until his life unravelled and he reached a point where he nearly lost it altogether.

Today, he has rebuilt his career, reconnected with his children and found a very different definition of strength.

His message to parents, partners, friends and families is simple: you don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to ask for help.

Sometimes the strongest words you can say are:

“I’m not okay and I need some help.”

Read Daniel’s powerful story of mental health, fatherhood, loss, recovery and finding a reason to keep going.

Your worst chapter does not have to be your last.

Most parents are looking for big conversations with their teens…
but what if connection isn’t actually meant to look like that?

What if you’re already getting connection every day — you’re just not recognising it?

From sitting beside you in silence…
to sending you random memes…
to those unexpected “I need you” moments that arrive at the worst possible time…
