David has discovered a unique approach to discussing mental health: by intertwining it with captivating animal tales. These aren't just any stories; they're deeply personal narratives drawn from his two-decade-long journey in animal care and rescue, including an 11-year tenure at a nationally acclaimed sanctuary.
In every presentation, David seamlessly integrates tales of the animals he's cared for, making the complex topic of mental health more accessible and resonant. His aim? To dismantle prevailing stigmas, heighten awareness of the current mental health crisis, clarify misconceptions about mental illness, and instill hope in both those affected and their loved ones.
Through his talks, workshops, and trainings, David not only educates but also equips individuals with the tools and resources they need. His mission is clear: guide people from the shadows of mental "hellness" to the light of mental wellness, helping them find their personal sanctuary.
