David Beeney, Breaking the Silence 

David suffered for over thirty years, not wanting to tell his colleagues or employer that he was battling mental health problems; believing that it would damage his career, he was embarrassed and scared of the potential consequences.  David is now using his experience, commercial background and business knowledge to help organisations implement mental health & wellbeing strategies within the workplace, creating kinder cultures. 

David’s interactive workshop explores the causes, stigma and some of the myths of mental health.  Practical steps are agreed which can be taken back into the workplace with the goal of creating a culture of openness and trust.  There is clear evidence that it drives energy and employee engagement post-delivery.
