“Wow, I am blow away by Mitch and his message. I have had the opportunity to attend numerous mental health webinars over the years and of late and this one-hour talk is the best I have attended. What stands out most for me is the way in which both scientific information and personal insight were presented and the balance between the two. Mitch is personable and delivers the scientific material in an easy-to-understand and relatable fashion. His personal story is gut-wrenching and powerful motivating the audience to action. Often webinars are either too scientific and not relatable or they are too fluffy, for a lack of a better word, offering no real takeaways. Mitch’s delivery was well balanced, authentic, and educational.
