#DEPRESSION
It took a dramatic incident to get award winning actor Rob Mokaraka back on track. He acted out his own death – but the reality almost succeeded when he was shot in the stomach by police in 2009. Now Rob is using his experience and battle with depression to support those out there with his one-man show ‘Shot Bro’.

Don’t miss out on Rob’s show in Tauranga 17 & 18 Aug!
His show is open to all ages and is a light hearted look at some very real issues relating to suicide, depression and mental health.
The show is free to the public and has been sponsored by the Tauranga City Council and Ngāti Pūkenga, Tauranga Intermediate and Moana FM.
This is a very exciting opportunity for Tauranga and is an awesome way to support our community and whānau while keeping the conversation around these kaupapa in motion.
Come along – see you there!
