Real Conversations - 5 steps to Connect with Confidence - without being a psychologist

“Wow, I am blow away by Mitch and his message. I have had the opportunity to attend numerous mental health webinars over the years and of late and this one-hour talk is the best I have attended. What stands out most for me is the way in which both scientific information and personal insight were presented and the balance between the two. Mitch is personable and delivers the scientific material in an easy-to-understand and relatable fashion. His personal story is gut-wrenching and powerful motivating the audience to action. Often webinars are either too scientific and not relatable or they are too fluffy, for a lack of a better word, offering no real takeaways. Mitch’s delivery was well balanced, authentic, and educational. I watched the webinar live with my 16-year old foster daughter who herself is experiencing mental ill-health. She found Mitch compelling and captivating. Hearing the science behind the reasons why our brains function the way they do in times of ill-health was eye opening and content that we have not been exposed to before. Thank you for that. Thank you for bringing Mitch’s message to us. This couldn’t have come at a better time as Ontario enters another lockdown period. I have shared this link with the HR and Safety Teams as well as my family and friends.”
