She didn't fully understand his turmoil, nor realise that she too would go on to experience mental health struggles, but she wanted to do anything she could to help her "best mate". "I've been there for him through lots of tragedies, like when he had his stroke," Alex reflects. These days, Alex, 24, is doing more than making cups of teas to help and honour comedian-turned-mental health advocate Mike and other Kiwis facing mental issues. Alex and Mike won't be going easy on each other.
