Matt Caruana - What would you do with your second chance at life? | EQ Strategist Everyday Heroes

Matt Caruana is a 20-year old mental health inspirational speaker from Sydney, Australia. Despite growing up in a good family and neighbourhood, he fell into depression in his teenage years which led to an unhealthy drug addiction which nearly turned fatal. Age 16, an attempted suicide left him paraplegic from the waist down. Today, he lives, in his own words “a purposeful life”, using his “second chance” to help others benefit from the disempowering decisions of his past.
In this episode of EQ Strategist Everyday Heroes, be inspired by Matt as he candidly shares key turning points in his life, strategies for detecting and overcoming the early signs of depression and how to bounce back from tremendous setbacks one small, courageous step at a time and with the care and support of people who believed in him. You will also take away valuable insights into the power of influence by simply giving others the gift of your personal presence as the ultimate gesture of appreciation and empathy.
