http://UnleashYourGroove.com There is not one way to describe a leader, and there is not one way to describe leadership. Mike Veny has found an interesting and entertaining way to build leadership and new leaders. He uses drums.
Some are born with natural leadership qualities and capabilities. History is written by the victor, and that victor is a leader of some sort. It may have been military leadership, diplomatic leadership or some other intangible characteristic that drives a leader and supports the followers. Mike has his drums.
Drums are themselves a form of leadership. Drums are as old as humanity and have had their important place in history as a tool for leadership. Sometimes the drum was a communication tool. Sometimes the drum was a tool to encourage and inspire followers. Either way, there has been a drum of some machination when a leader was necessary.
Mike Veny builds leadership with his drums and drumming circles. He starts each drumming circle as a game, and he is acting as a leader. Some start immediately, some start begrudgingly. All eventually participate actively. The drum circle has various activities; all centered around leadership and leadership development.
The group begins to synergize and team build. As they do, Veny moves further away from the leadership of the drum circle, until he changes the leader. This is where most groups of people are taken well out of their comfort zone. This is also where Veny has led them – on purpose.
It is change that most people are hesitant and resistant to do. What Veny has done while the group has its drum rhythm is prepare the group for this change. More importantly, he has shown the drum circle that change and change in leadership can be a welcomed activity. In addition, the team has learned how a leader can be a facilitator before changing leaders.
Veny is available for corporate retreats, leadership building and team development.

http://www.TransformingStigma.com In this video, mental health speaker Mike Veny answers questions about being a child and having angry outbursts. He reminds us that sometimes, their is NOTHING that you can do for someone when they are in a bad place. However, a long term commitment to therapy is essential for helping youth and children in crisis.
When it comes to children’s mental health, more services, especially support systems of care, are available than ever before, but children still aren’t getting all the help that they need. More effort still needs to be put forth regarding children’s mental health awareness.
According to that National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 4 million youth struggle with serious mental health challenges that increase problems at home, school, with peers, and overall development. 21 percent of children between the ages of 9 and 17 have a diagnosable mental health or addictive challenge that will cause them difficulties at some level. Of that 21 percent, only 4 percent get help. Left untreated, these mental health issues become significantly worse as children get older.
50 percent of the lifetime cases of mental health challenges begin by age 14. Regardless of effective treatment, people wait a long time (many years) between the first sign of a problem and when they receive treatment. Sometimes this is due to stigma. Sometimes this is due to a lack of resources. Sometimes it’s a combination of the two.
Mike Veny is a youth and children’s mental health speaker who speaks at conferences and events throughout the world to raise awareness about children’s mental health. He’s extremely passionate about speaking at events during children’s mental health awareness week (and month). He enjoys helping young people who were like him. Growing up is tough. Growing up with additional challenges is even tougher.

The mental health system is broken around the world. Today you’re going to learn what the barriers are and EXACTLY what you can do to make a difference for those in your life.
In fact, in this video, Vikie Shanks and I share real-life situations where the system is failing and practical ways that any person can help to fill the gap.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie and I discover and discuss the similarities of the mental health systems in the UK and the US. Even though the countries are separated by an entire ocean and the health insurance options are different, the barriers to mental health treatment remain the same. They include things like long waiting lists at mental health facilities and people being treated as if their situation is not serious enough to warrant seeking treatment.
It’s important that we expand mental health awareness in order to put an end to this global crisis. While we work on eliminating these barriers to mental health care access, Vikie and I share some strategies that you can use with family and friends in your own life who are struggling. We share practical tips on what you can do and say to show your loved one that you care and support them.
We also discuss the importance of open dialogue between caregivers and family members. While many people realize the struggle that people with mental health challenges face, they don’t realize how exhausting it can be for the family members or friends who are helping to support them. Vikie shares a few pointers on what to do in this situation.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to rise above the barriers in the mental health system for yourself and your loved ones in 2019.

Awkward Conversations in Mental Health
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to talk about mental health.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to explain why it’s OK to have awkward conversations and just how to do it.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
If you talk about mental health it’s going to feel awkward. Sorry, not sorry. Talking about mental health leads to awkward conversations. That doesn’t mean it’s bad and it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t talk about it. In fact, the more awkward a mental health conversation is, the more effective it is. And, that’s what we need for mental health awareness and to help with things like suicide prevention.
But, I get that as people, we don’t like to feel uncomfortable. We worry about the awkward. But, it’s time to embrace it and get a little awkward. And, in this video I give pointers on how to talk about mental health. Here are some things that you will learn:
Mental health conversation starters that you can use in your everyday life
Why you need to learn how to shut up and listen
Why mental health conversation questions need to be open-ended
What things you should AVOID saying
When you follow the tips that are provided in this video, not only will you become more comfortable talking about mental health in general, but you’ll know how to check up on the loved ones in your life and let them know that you care.
Remember, it’s not just you. Mental health conversations are awkward. Embrace it and go for it!
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to start having more conversations about mental health in 2019.
