How to get the most out of a keynote for your World Mental Health Day event

World Mental Health Day on October 10 offers a valuable opportunity to pause and address a topic that affects everyone, yet is often difficult to talk about openly. A keynote can help normalize conversations about mental health, reduce stigma and provide practical perspectives on resilience, stress management and psychological safety. For audiences facing pressure, change or high expectations, a well chosen keynote offers recognition and guidance rather than quick fixes. Some events center on personal stories and lived experience, while others emphasize prevention, leadership responsibility or the creation of healthy and supportive cultures. 

By clarifying your goals and audience, we ensure the keynote strikes the right balance between insight, empathy and relevance, creating meaningful impact that lasts beyond the event.
