Mental Health

Our mental health speakers include sufferers of depression and anxiety, and psychologists who have dedicated their lives to understanding the mind.

Mental health is one of the most important conference topics of the 21st century, as 25% of the population will be impacted by neurological disorders at some point in their lives. In response, these inspiring speakers attend events to highlight the impact of external stressors, especially in the workplace.

Whatever your requirements, our wide selection of experts have each experienced the impact that mental health illnesses have, whether first or second-hand. They are fully equipped to discuss all aspects of the topic, and therefore resonate with a diverse range of guests at events.

These speakers are regularly booked for Mental Health Awareness Week, an event that takes place from the 11th to the 17th of May 2026. Many businesses organise internal conferences to recognise the week, using it as an opportunity to educate and empower their employees.

World Mental Health Day is also celebrated, taking place on Friday 10th of October 2026.
