She presented a keynote talk for my regional mental health training and technical assistance center and she was amazing! She is also invested in making sure she's able to meet the goals you have for her session. She requested a meeting to review the presentation she planned and collect my feedback. She then incorporated my comments into her presentation brilliantly.

Amanda was the keynote speaker at our annual mental health event. Even a year later I have people come up to me to tell me about what an amazingly powerful and engaging presentation she provided; and I couldn’t agree more! The blend of education, personal story, and inspirational hope building was perfect for our event.

Think Outside the [Crayon] Box: Symptoms to Superpowers
In this story-driven and creative presentation, Amanda takes your audience through a series of insights and examples that inspire us to think differently about mental health – for ourselves and the systems we work in.
As a filmmaker and multimedia artist, Amanda weaves in short films she's produced of other people’s journeys to illustrate the diversity of adversity and resilience. She challenge audiences to embrace mental health and illness as an ‘everybody and every industry’ issue that impacts us all differently. Amanda uses crayons as a creative and fun metaphor to dig deeper and encourage people to think “outside the box” of mental health.
