Alongside NRL star Kieran Foran and surfing legend Joel Parkinson, Fanning spoke about how he looked to his support network for help during difficult periods.
“Some people think there’s no way out, but it’s not that bad,” he said.
“You face your fears, you have your friends and family to support you and we have to help each other get through those dark times.”
‘I’ve been in the same situation where I couldn’t get out of bed. I (would wonder) ‘fuck, is this it?’ I just don’t want to go and face the world.
“I had friends who got me out of bed, got me into the water, and that’s what changed my trajectory and the way I approach things.”
Fanning also urged young people to speak up and seek advice if they were going through a difficult time.
“The most important thing is that when you are 17 or 18 years old you are destined to be a man,” he said. ‘And there is this stigma around that you have to be strong, tough.

Fanning encouraged young people to seek help if they were experiencing mental health issues.
“But I think probably the bravest thing you can do is open up to someone and talk to them.”
‘For me, during my travels, it was always calling a friend or talking to a parent or family. The people closest to you have unconditional love. They will try to do everything they can to try to help you.
‘Even if they don’t have the answers, it’s now very easy to research all that. You’ve got the Top Blokes, you’ve got It Ain’t Weak to Speak (awareness drives), you’ve got all these mental health lifesavers and all this kind of stuff.
‘It’s very easy to get in touch with these people. And in no way should it be embarrassing, it’s braver for you to go and speak.’
