All Blacks Don't Cry is John Kirwan's story of hope, of working through the pain and living a full life - a poignant, inspirational and helpful example for anybody battling depression. Afflicted with depression for many years - including those as a high-profile sportsman - Kirwan was able to survive by reaching out, seeking help from those closest to him. Nobody knew, though, that behind closed doors 'JK' was living a life of tormented fear. A prominent and revered figure at the dawn of the professional age of rugby, he seemed to live a charmed life. John Kirwan was one of the most devastating wingers New Zealand, and world, rugby had ever seen. In their own words, the young people interviewed reflect on their treatment and progress, and consider how these experiences have shaped them as they face forward into their adult lives. JK confronts an array of questions about parenting and his own children, and looks at case studies of teenagers who have been diagnosed with mental health issues including anxiety and depression.
Stand By Me is JK's second collaboration with writer Margie Thomson, and draws on the expertise of Dr Elliot Bell and Kirsty Louden-Bell, clinical psychologists from the Otago Medical School. Like All Blacks Don't Cry, it has an emphasis on hopefulness and living positively. It is intended as a useful guide for parents, caregivers and teachers - anyone concerned about the wellbeing of young people in their care. 'I'm a dad and I'm scared.' Charting John Kirwan's experiences as a father, and incorporating voices of young people today, Stand By Me examines issues around teenage mental health, with a focus on depression and anxiety.
