Here are some examples of the commonly requested talks that I have delivered
Understanding Mental Health

Mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people worldwide. 75% of mental health problems begin before the age of 25. The aim of this talk is to help everyone understand mental health, the importance of early intervention and how to prevent mental health problems through building resilience. This will be helpful for people of all ages, especially parents, teachers and young people. 



Understanding Mental Health from a Christian Perspective: #dontjustprayitaway

Mental health issues, like physical health issues and all forms of human suffering, occur as a result of the fallen nature of the world we live in. This talk is geared at reducing fear and stigma amongst Christians through understanding mental health issues, as well as integrating their faith, spiritual health and emotional health.

Understanding Mental Health for Church Leaders #dontjustprayitaway

Christian leaders are often in the frontline of mental health care of those suffering from mental health difficulties. This talk equips leaders to understand mental health issues from a Christian perspective, maintain healthy boundaries, and have conversations on mental health.

Building Resilient Families: Equipping Parents

Mental health issues affect 1 in 4 people worldwide. 75% of mental health problems begin before the age of 25. This topic is to help parents understand mental health, the importance of early intervention, and how to prevent mental health problems through developing resilience in families.

Building Resilient Youth: Equipping Young People

1 in 5 young people struggle with a mental health issue but two thirds of them never seek professional help. This talk will help young people develop skills in resilience to promote good mental health.



A Healthy Mind During Crisis

This is an important time to think about our mental health, especially since we know that the social and economic impact of crises and disasters can affect people’s mental health in a negative way. This talk is aimed at helping people learn ways to have positive mental health and well-being, with a focus on things that every person can put into practice to build resilience.



A Healthy Mind During Crisis for Healthcare Workers

Many healthcare workers are likely to feel under pressure in the current situation. Managing your mental health and well-being during this time is as important as managing your physical health. This webinar is focused on some ways we can look after our mental health as health care workers during this time.
