Speakers Bureau
The CMHA Peel Dufferin Speakers’ Bureau consists of experienced volunteer public speakers who have lived experience, and are passionate about raising awareness and reducing stigma associated with mental illness. Our speakers offer hope, and educate others by sharing their personal stories and how they overcame barriers through a dynamic recovery process. Our Speakers Bureau objectives are:
- Increase awareness – 1 in 5 Canadians will experience mental illness
- Reduce the stigma that creates fear and greatly hinders recovery
- Instill a sense of hope for recovery and maintaining wellness
- Help individuals feel less isolated, lonely and helpless
- Encourage people to seek help
- Provide information on community resources
