World Suicide Prevention Day speaker – find a Mental Health Speaker

What is World Suicide Prevention Day?

10th September is World Suicide Prevention Day –

World Suicide Prevention Day is important because it provides a specific time for businesses and communities to discuss issues and raise awareness of mental illnesses. The day also gives those suffering an open space to discuss often hard-to-talk-about matters, which are often neglected in everyday discussions.

Over the last few years, the importance of mental health, especially within the workplace, has increased.

Many organisations are now putting in place structures and activities to help colleagues improve their wellness, particularly in the aftermath of Covid-lockdowns and the current cost-of-living crisis, a concern for many.

Find an Inspirational World Suicide Prevention Day Speaker

At Great British Speakers, we’ve worked hard to secure a team of professional mental health speakers who all have personal, heartfelt reasons why mental health is such a vital topic of conversation for them. Ultimately, our mental health and wellness speakers all share the same goal: better mental health care.

So, if you’re running a Mental Health event for World Suicide Prevention Day, the Great British Speakers team is here to help.

Featured Speaker – Steve Carr | World Suicide Prevention Day Speaker

Steve Carr is an inspirational speaker who speaks from pure experience. Childhood traumas and turbulent early adulthood wrecked by addictions and poor mental health led Steve to attempt suicide on multiple occasions.

However, after getting the help he needed to overcome his past, Steve has turned his life around and is now dedicated to helping others so no one has to face adversity or challenges alone…

Men’s mental health has never been more in the limelight. From celebrities to royals, mental health has become one of the most talked-about health issues. But whilst the focus has primarily been on getting men to open up, what is being done to prepare people for when someone reaches out to them for help?

Steve’s work stems from his personal experience of living with poor mental health, a mental illness, and more importantly how to stay well and thrive after diagnosis.  Listen to his podcast episode with Great British Speakers’ director Jane Farnham HERE.

Steve Carr is just one of our inspirational male speakers on the topic of mental health. To view our top male mental health speakers, click here.
