Mental Health Week is about challenging ourselves to see mental illness in a more positive light, breaking down the barriers that can hold us back from having important conversations about our mental wellbeing.
From first-hand experiences with mental illness to expertise in psychology and mindfulness, these speakers can open up the dialogue in your workplace with warmth, compassion, and a touch of humour.
