MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Conferences and Keynote Speaker
Although Jeff is well-known as a youth mental health speaker, it is equally important that he
reaches adult audiences with his message and he loves working with adults who work in the
昀椀eld of Mental Health.
“If adults don’t start accepting mental illness as an illness, it’s going to be a lot harder to do our
work with our youth and beyond,” says Jeff.” We need to attack this today to make tomorrow
better - to lessen the stigma of mental illness in society. We also need to realize as mental
health professionals we are for many the only one that can take a person from mental illness
and wanting to make that forever decision to realizing it’s OK to ask for HELP and be patient
in the process.” Jeff is a strong advocate for validating the work mental health professionals
do every day.
He recently spoke at an event for the Pasco County, Florida chapter of NAMI - the National
Alliance on Mental Illness. Many people in that audience live with mental illness every day, just
like he does. He also spoke to community in昀氀uencers, police of昀椀cers, hospital workers and
folks who work in the mental health 昀椀eld. Jeff is doing many more mental health professional
conferences and speaking as a keynote speaker and/or workshop presenter on Teen Mental
Health and also on his own journey living as a man with mental illness. He is a believer in that a
person living with mental illness must be aware of their mental illness and also accept they live
with mental illness. The 昀椀rst step is awareness and acceptance. Then it’s asking for help and
self-care. This along with patience and progress getting help and listening to the professionals
helps you live a productive life of ful昀椀llment and meaning.
