“How to Talk About Mental Health Without Losing Your Mind”

 Trustbit invited me to kick off their April 2022 Open Space (an internal BarCamp of sorts) with a talk about mental health awareness. My talk starts with my own experiences with mental health and neurodivergence and how they have led me to be more open about mental health and consciously create more awareness. Includes actionable advice on how to talk about mental health, make sure your language is inclusive, and how companies can be more supportive of and actively welcoming to people with mental health experiences and/or neurodivergence. Warning: contains humour! 😉
