Robert’s reputation as a subject matter expert on workplace mental health and as a skilled, high-energy facilitator is really all about shattering people’s perceptions of what mental illness looks like. He wants us to know that his own personal journey of living with and managing depression and anxiety has impacted both his work life and his personal life.

But he also wants us to know that being a man, he’s had to learn and get comfortable with the simple act of talking about his depression and anxiety and reaching out for help. His goal? To be a role model for men everywhere who really need to get comfortable with talking about their daily mental health in order to get the help and support they need.

“We know that employers are taking action to improve mental health in the workplace. I continue to design and refine Powerful Play Experiences around the all important goal of engaging people in meaningful conversations about mental health and mental illness. It’s a good thing to face your challenges, to create your own strategies to best move forward, and to be the best version of yourself, today and everyday.”
