Carving Out Connection | Benjamin Roberts

The quality of our mental health is intertwined with our sense of connection to each other and the world around us. Humans are social creatures; we need community wherever we can find it, and being lonely makes us more likely to be mentally ill. Ben is a musician on a mission to create connection his own way.

Since April, he's been taking his guitar down every single street in the Adelaide CBD singing and striking up conversations while raising money for charity.

Ben's got his own mental health story, and is so passionate about that he's taken the Concrete Connection Project on as a full-time job, without the pay.
