Top School Mental Health Speaker – 2020 (True Story!)
Today you’re going to learn about a school event that I attended and spoke at as a school mental health speaker.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
As a mental health speaker for schools, I am honored every time I’m invited into a school and community to share my experience of growing up with mental health challenges. I fully support when a school is willing to allow students to skip out on things like math and science for a day or two in order to address the deeper issues and challenges that they are facing like anxiety and depression.
When working as a mental health speaker for high school or youth mental health speaker, I share the personal stories from my own life. This includes things like being expelled from three schools, being admitted to a mental hospital for multiple extended stays, self-harm, and attempting to take my own life at the age of 10. These are the issues that youth are facing and the ones that need to be addressed as a school mental health speaker.
And, it’s not just a school issue. Mental health in schools is best addressed by involving and educating the entire community. As you will see in this video, the students understand the importance of addressing these issues as well.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that you can address mental health in your school in 2019.

http://www.OC87RecoverYDiaries.com/mike-veny/ Mike Veny, weight lifter, professional musician, ted talker, and mental health keynote speaker, has something to say about what it means to be a real man with mental health issues. As anyone who has ever been afflicted by issues with mental health or has been the friend, family member, or loved one of someone who has suffered due to their issues with mental health can attest to, to hear Mike Veny speak is to hear some very real, very raw, and very poignant talk on the matter. Mike has made it his personal mission to not only talk about mental health issues and how they have affected his life but also to let his listeners know just how he has overcame and continues to overcome and to be an advocate for mental health awareness. He does this through traveling around the world as motivational and inspirational mental health speaker.
In his early years Veny was repeatedly expelled from school due to behavior problems and spent time in a psychiatric hospital on three different occasions. Veny admits that in his childhood the ‘real men’ he idolized were thugs, tough guys, and trouble makers, who in retrospect were more than likely suffering from mental health issues of their own. Anger, Veny says, is a common disguise for depression among men. Veny contends that this is especially true in a society in which many men are struggling to determine just what a healthy sense of masculinity is.
Mike says he has accepted that his battle with depression and anxiety may be an ongoing one and emphasizes that he only wants to be in control of his life. As a professional drummer, he uses his talent for personal therapy, reaching out to others, and for his continuing advocacy for understanding mental health issues. As a mental health keynote speaker some may find it odd that Veny never wanted to be a speaker in the first place. Mike says he’s far more interested in people not dying and only wants to be a disruption that will get people talking about mental health. Until the suicide rate drops to zero, Mike assures, he won’t close his mouth about mental health.
He is honored to have had the opportunity to work with OC87 Recovery Diaries to release this video on depression and masculinity.
The Birth of Transforming Stigma™ – 2014 C-E-O Conference Keynote

http://www.TransformingStigma.Com In this video, Mike Veny details the birth of Transforming Stigma™. This short speech was recorded as part of a panel on overcoming challenges at the 2014 National Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization (C-E-O) Conference at the Hyatt Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.
First, Mike shares about filing bankruptcy in 2005 and building a career as a drummer after that. Then in 2011, Mike had a mental health breakdown. After reaching out to a friend from the New York State Department of Mental Health for help, she responded with an invitation for him to speak at her conference.
After that first speech, Mike was traveling around the country within a few months, opening up mental health conferences as a keynote speaker. Transforming Stigma™ was born. In the spirit of overcoming challenges, Mike reminds us that sometimes our biggest challenges are our greatest opportunities. Sometimes that thing that you are struggling with can inspire the perfect business idea. The key is being aware and open to it.
Entrepreneurship was always in Mike’s blood, but he never would have thought he’d be marketing the toughest thing of all – his own issues. Although, he never dreamed of being a mental health speaker (who does?), Mike is honored to do this work to help others who are like him. Mike knows what it’s like to feel a lost sense of hope. Mike knows what it’s like to feel pain. Mike knows what it’s like to be scared. This is why he does this work in mental health.
Your greatest challenges can be your greatest opportunities.
