The three times Golden Guitar winner hosted a special R U OK? concert – Conversations in the Park - in Tamworth, on Saturday.
Collins’ intention was to empower festival-goers with the skills to support anyone who might be struggling with life.
“R U OK? is a cause that’s very close to my heart. As an R U OK? ambassador, I’m really proud to be bringing, ‘Conversations in the Park’ to the festival again.
“I’ve seen so many of my own mates’ do it tough and bottle things up so now I make sure I call them while I’m driving, waiting at the airport or if I can swing by and visit, even better,” he said.
“We’ve got to make time for it. It’s got to become second nature to keep checking in on our family and mates, and giving them the space to feel safe to open up.
“I want the country music community – my other much-loved family – to walk away from this event feeling like they have the skills and confidence to do that.”
High profile artists including Amber Lawrence joined Collins for the night.
