“I truly enjoyed your presentation and was struck by your incredible bravery.  You have tremendous courage in telling yours and your Dad's story. More importantly to me though was when you provided specific ideas on ways to help friends and family members who may be experiencing depression or mental health issues.”-B.C. from the University of North Carolina

“I've been having some problems lately, and after your presentation, I started thinking about them some more. You said that if you are sick you go to a doctor, so if your brain is sick, you should go to a doctor for that too. I know now that I need help.” -Anon from Defiance College

“Keynote speaker was brilliant—very engaging and thought provoking." 
- LIFE Think Tank Conference, Australia

"Your keynote was absolutely unbelievable and exactly what this campus needed. It was the perfect mixture of comedic relief with a serious tone that made the talk innovative and unforgettable." - L.P. Wake Forest University
