Mental Health
Neil Pasricha is the New York Times bestseller of five books and one of the most popular TED Speakers in the world. His TED Talk “The 3 A’s of Awesome” continues to define resilience through mental health challenges for millions of people.
Neil Pasricha received a late night phone call from his best friend Chris on a Sunday a few years ago. By the next morning he had disappeared. After years battling mental illness he tragically took his own life. Studies show 1 in 4 people suffer from mental illness. We know when we bring mental illness out of the closet, we improve productivity, drive creativity, and shrink absenteeism. But how? How do we support peers, reports, and teams? How do we support mothers, sisters, and brothers?
Neil’s passionate plea gives voice to those suffering and to those who find themselves supporting those in need. His speech is gripping, interactive, and grounding, with stories and simple takeaways weaved around research that answers three key questions:
- How can we reduce stigma of mental illness?
- How do we support others with mental illness?
- And how do we support ourselves?
This keynote is not just for those in the audience who are silently suffering from mental anguish. It’s for all of us … to help take charge of our mental health.
"The interactions, trust, healing, laughter, camaraderie, sadness, and vulnerabilities that come with taking care of patients are gifts to be enjoyed and appreciated. Sadly, the prism where we can see these qualities becomes rapidly clouded. There is real role for Neil’s work within health care. The more penetration his philosophies have, the more satisfaction, quality, and longevity we’ll see.”
