PUBLIC SPEAKING

Speaking to people and striking up meaningful conversations are crucial to reducing the stigma associated with mental illness & suicide. We have come a long way, but we can always do more. We are aiming to raise awareness, one conversation at a time.

Lauren is available for one-off speaking engagements at conferences, professional development days, workplace meetings, community group events or other various events. Speaking presentations will have a focus on the importance of utilising the voices of people with a lived experience in the mental health & suicide prevention sectors, while also looking at the current landscape Worldwide. We talk hope, building resilience, being compassionate and the importance of mental wellness. These presentations can be tailored to your group's needs.
