this talk is about providing meaning to my experience; even if one person in one talk changes their relationship with their mental health and feels empowered to open up, this talk has achieved its objective.
Having personally struggled with mental health I feel that talks given within organisations & schools lack a real world perspective that make experiences relatable to those who may be suffering. With this inadequacy, this talk aims to place speakers within organisations to deliver talks highlighting their lived-in experiences of mental health. By opening up conversations, from a vulnerable and relatable perspective, we hope to empower people to speak about their struggles and seek support if needed - even if support is just through having conversations with others.
The more we talk, the more we can support.

Having struggled with depression and social anxiety for as long as I can remember, the day I received a diagnosis and CBT therapy was a turning point for me and one that changed my attitude towards mental health forever. Having my eyes opened to all the amazing things about life and myself through this help, is the core of why I push for kindness and empathy towards everyone we meet. And with great organisations like This Talk, my hope for spreading kindness and mental health awareness is being fulfilled.
