SCROLL DOWN TO SEE OUR ROSTER OF SPEAKERS
What to expect:
Experienced Speakers- Speakers are extensively trained by the top mental health professionals and coaches in the country. The Active Minds Speakers Bureau is prepared to speak to thousands of people or a small group. Presentations are appropriate for colleges, high schools, middle schools, and all types of organizations.
Data Driven- Research shows the best way to reduce stigma and increase help seeking is peer-to-peer outreach. Consistent and valid research on The Heard shows that our speakers do just that!
Focus on Mental Health- Our speakers bureau provides positive examples of mental health by featuring young people who have dealt with these issues and who can encourage others to recognize and seek help for their emotional difficulties.
Relatable Presentations- While mental health is a serious topic, the presentations use appropriate humor and are extremely accessible, interactive, cool, and inspiring.
A Variety of Topics- Our speakers all cover healthy coping mechanisms, stigma reduction, help seeking, and calls to action for participants. We educate through personal story telling. Each speakers' story is unique and sheds light on a range of topics related to mental health.
Our Commitment to You- We want to partner with you to fight stigma, nurture the mental health of all people, and decrease the risk of suicide. Our speakers are revered for being affordable, accessible, and a joy to work with.
" I am thrilled to be leaving The Active Minds Speakers Bureau in such capable hands. While I will not be speaking past early 2010, I have trained and cultivated all of these speakers so that this important message will live on!"
