Mental Health Speakers for World Mental Health Day

 

Why is World Mental Health Day Important?

The next World Mental Health Day takes place on October 10.

World Mental Health Day was designed to increase awareness of global mental health concerns, inspire communication, and enhance education on topics people often feel too taboo or vulnerable to discuss.

Pre-pandemic it was reported that one-in-eight people suffered from mental health issues.  However, cases of anxiety and depression rose more than a quarter during the first Covid-lockdown, and while we’re all now getting back to a ‘new normal’  many of us are still living with symptoms of anxiety and depression as a symptom of the pandemic.  (Stats: World Mental Health Day 2022)

Plus, we are seeing a massive increase in awareness around suicide prevention and men’s mental health at the moment, with many organisations putting in place structures and activities specially designed to help men tackle poor mental health as it’s been statistically proven that men are less likely to ask for help when it comes to dealing with mental health issues.

In addition to this, new global concerns have risen, such as social and economic inequality, cost-of-livingequality and discrimination, limited NHS public health care and the effect of the war in Ukraine, which have all played a role in deepening people’s insecurities about the future.

Fortunately, World Mental Health Day offers the opportunity for open communication, where people’s mental health is valued and protected in a safe space, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to source mental healthcare, regardless of who and where they are.

 

Find an Inspirational World Mental Health Day Speaker

At Great British Speakers, we’ve worked hard to secure a team of professional mental health speakers. They all have personal, heartfelt reasons why mental health is such a vital topic of conversation for them.

Ultimately, our mental health and wellness speakers share the same goal and, through their personal experiences, advocate for global mental health care for all.

So, if you’re running an event for World Mental Health Day or perhaps you just want to boost your team’s mental well-being at your next team-building day, the team at Great British Speakers is here to help.

 

Featured Speaker – Owen O’Kane | World Mental Health Day Speaker

Psychotherapist and author of the globally acclaimed book Ten to Zen, Owen O’Kane is a self-described “Irish, Catholic and Gay young man”, the perfect combination for anxiety during The Troubles.

After a spell working in palliative care, Owen spoke to many people at the end of their lives and realised so many of them were expressing their biggest regrets. As a result of these conversations, Owen started to learn what was worth hanging on to, and what we should make peace with and forget.

Throughout all of Owen’s speeches, he is warm and informative and captures everyone’s attention with his own personal anecdotes on grief and bereavement, his childhood, his sexuality and his mental health. With stress and anxiety being two of the biggest issues amongst young people, Owen helps to identify, accept and overcome these negative feelings.
