Adrian Ellis

Adrian came along as a guest speaker to one of our Co-op support centre Spotlight events to deliver his presentation on suicide and mental health awareness. 

His presentation was incredibly powerful and moving and while it can be an upsetting topic it was delivered thoughtfully and with compassion.  

It has prompted our department to start talking more openly about our mental health and we are now looking at how we can implement some useful tools Adrian has recommended such as the 20 minute suicide prevention course. 

While sadly it’s too late for George I have no doubt that the work Adrian is doing is saving many lives.

Adrian delivered his powerful message to our employees of Humberside Fire and Rescue Service at our annual Health, Wellbeing and Performance Conference. When organising a conference like this I feel it’s important to have speakers who can share lived experience in a relatable way.

The Fire and Rescue Service unfortunately deal with suicide on a regular basis and having a guest speaker such as Adrian come along to share his message on how suicide impacts not only individuals but whole families was truly breath taking. Adrian's drive to promote awareness around suicide and Getting emotions out is impeccable and I firmly believe he is making a real difference to the people within the community.

We were truly honoured to have Adrian Ellis as a guest speaker for our recent course on raising awareness regarding mental health. 

Adrian’s ability to be open regarding such a tragic event of losing George resonated with everyone in the room. 

Adrian’s compassionate approach and engaging presentation left a lasting impact on our participants, equipping them with the understanding and tools needed to better support themselves and others. 

We highly recommend Adrian for any event focused on mental health awareness.
