As a highly accredited mental health speaker, educator, and trainer, David Woods Bartley devotes his life to centering conversations around mental health in the public space. David’s knowledge and passion have led him to audiences transnationally from the United States to India, and to various institutions from the United States FDA and Boston University to LYFT and TEDx. Stemming from personal experience, his exemplary commitment to normalizing these discussions is grounded in his battle with clinical depression, a subsequent attempted suicide, and the lifesaving support he received thereafter. As David actively nurtures his mental health and continues his journey, he works to show people the necessity of putting your mental health on a pedestal and the possibility of mental wellness for everyone.
