Jason: 1, Stigma: 0
In Jason’s signature keynote, his expert storytelling abilities are on full display as he shares his battle with mental illness at home and in the workplace. As well, he illustrates how having a major physical illness as a boy (a heart defect requiring open-heart surgery) helped him to overcome stigma in his late twenties. This powerful and moving keynote includes some of the moving stories Jason shares in his book, Jason: 1, Stigma: 0 – My battle with mental illness at home and in the workplace.
