While the US celebrates Black History Month in February\, Black History Month is celebrated in October in the UK. \nWhy Celebrate Black History Month?\nDespite this revolutionary movement and the rise of equality and diversity awareness\, racism is still present in our everyday lives. This was no more evident than in 2020 when we witnessed the world come together in response to the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor in the United States.  The following solidarity demonstrations sparked a resurgence of the #BlackLivesMatter movement – a worldwide movement for equality and justice against racial discrimination first launched in 2013. (see source) \nAs a result of Floyd and Taylor’s deaths\, Black History Month (BHM) 2021 was possibly one of the most significant since the event began and demonstrated the solidarity and support for BAME communities\, and yet in the months that followed\, England’s players at Euro 2020 also became victims of racial abuse online\, demonstrating that there is still a long way to go for racial equality. \nOur inspirational Black History Month Speakers are experts in their field.  From medical physicians and psychologists to speakers on wellness and diversity in the workplace\, career goals and equality\, financial health\, cultural influences\, fashion and inclusion – but one thing is for sure\, they’re all passionate speakers on Diversity\, Equality & Inclusion for Black and Ethnic Minorities within everyday society… \n  \nSearch all of our Black History Month Speakers\n\n\nFeatured Speaker – June Sarpong\n \n  \nJune Sarpong OBE is an award-winning author\, TV Presenter\, and BBC director of Creative Diversity.

While we’re all now getting back to a ‘new normal’\, many of us are still living with symptoms of anxiety and depression as a symptom of the pandemic.  (Stats: World Mental Health Day 2022). Plus\, we are seeing a massive increase in awareness around suicide prevention and men’s mental health at the moment\, with many organisations putting in place structures and activities specially designed to help men tackle poor mental health as it’s been statistically proven that men are less likely to ask for help when it comes to dealing with mental health issues. \nIn addition to this\, new global concerns have risen\, such as social and economic inequality\, cost-of-living\,  equality and discrimination\, limited NHS public health care and the effect of the war in Ukraine\, which have all played a role in deepening people’s insecurities about the future. \nFortunately\, it offers the opportunity for open communication\, where people’s mental health is valued and protected in a safe space\, and where everyone has an equal opportunity to source mental healthcare\, regardless of who and where they are. \n  \nWhat Defines a Mentally Healthy Workplace?\n \nAccording to The Mental Health Foundation\, a mentally healthy workplace fosters a supportive environment where employees feel valued\, respected\, and able to discuss mental health without fear of judgment. This includes staff training on mental health\, addressing issues like discrimination and bullying\, and encouraging open conversations about well-being. \nAlthough discussions around mental health in the workplace have become more common\, stigma still exists\, particularly regarding severe mental health conditions. This highlights the need for ongoing efforts to break down barriers and create a truly inclusive and supportive work environment. \nFind an Inspirational World Mental Health Day Speaker\nAt Great British Speakers\, we’ve worked hard to secure a team of professional mental health speakers.

From his research\, Arnell calculated that the most depressing day of the year could be discovered using the following formula; \nWhere weather=W\, debt=d\, time since Christmas=T\, time since failing our new year’s resolutions=Q\, low motivational levels=M and the feeling of a need to take action=Na. ‘D’ is not defined in the release\, nor are units. \nUsing his calculation\, he determined that the most depressing day of the year was\, in fact\, the 3rd Monday of January. \n – so next year\, it will fall on the 20th of January 2025. \nDespite the term initially being coined to encourage people to book holidays – the term seems to have stuck\, as is now widely used in to describe those seasonal blues and even more severe mental health and mood disorders\, such as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). \nHowever\, in some circumstances\, when these moods don’t lift\, they can spiral into more long-term mental health conditions. \nSo while the date may have been coined for a quick holiday PR stunt\, the awareness it’s raised over the years has been fundamental in raising the wider concerns of mental health issues globally. \n  \nFind Inspirational Blue Monday Mental Health Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAt Great British Speakers\, you can hire Blue Monday mental health speakers who specifically focus on health and fitness\, from mental wellness professionals to some of the country’s leading Sports stars who will bring a whole different level to your team-building event through their motivational talks to really heighten your team’s morale through these difficult months. \nSo\, if you would be interested in finding out more about our Blue Monday speakers\, we are only an email or a phone call away – the team at Great British Speakers is here to help you find the best mental health speakers. \nFeatured Speaker:  Rob Hosking\n \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact us Great British Speakers for a personalised shortlist of Blue Monday mental health speakers.\nLEARN MORE\nMental Health Speakers | Similar Speakers & Blogs \n\nSuicide Prevention Speaker Steve Carr\nSupporting Women’s Health in the Workplace\nHow to Prevent Work/Life Burnout with Andrew Pain\nNew Ways to Cope with Mental Health in the Workplace\nSpeaking Up on Men’s Mental Health with Roman Kemp\n\nhttps://greatbritishspeakers.co.uk/news/health-motivational-speaker-2024/ \n  \n“A Chat With…”  Episodes with our Mental Health Speakers | Podcast. \n \n\nClive Branson | Overcoming Adversity\, Disability \nBen Smith | LGBTQ+ Anti-Bullying & Endurance\nAndrew Pain | Domestic Violence Isn’t Gendered\nAlex Staniforth | Mind Over Mountains Men’s Mental Health\nDave Walsh | World’s Strongest Disabled Man\nSteve Carr | ‘Losing Myself to Find Everything’ – Suicide Awareness\n\n\nLinks to Resources | Mental Health Support \n\nContact ‘Mind’ – Mental Health Charity\nContact Samaritans – Mental Health Charity\nWorld Health Organization \nWorld Mental Health Day\n\n  \nHire Blue Monday Mental Health Speakers\nIf you’d like to book any motivational Blue Monday Mental Health speakers to add some optimism and inspiration this Blue Monday\, then do get in touch with directors Jane Farnham and Steve Denison here at Great British Speakers. \nCall +44 1753 439289 or email bookings@greatbritishtalent.com \n  URL:https://greatbritishpresenters.co.uk/event/mental-health-speakers/2027-01-15/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://greatbritish.b-cdn.net/wp-content//uploads/2023/01/Find-Blue-Monday-Mental-Health-Speakers-at-Great-British-Speakers.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20270204 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20270205 DTSTAMP:20260421T180110 CREATED:20221105T112532Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221105T112532Z UID:31117-1801699200-1801785599@greatbritishpresenters.co.uk SUMMARY:World Cancer Day at GREAT BRITISH SPEAKERS DESCRIPTION:Search for World Cancer Day speakers here\nWhy Acknowledge World Cancer Day?\nCreated in 2000\, World Cancer Day is held every 4th February and aims to unite the world in raising awareness\, improving education and sourcing cures to all cancers\, as well as ensuring live-saving cancer treatment and care is accessible to all. \nSince its start\, World Cancer Day has covered many themes including care\, positive mindsets\, debunking myths\, diet and activity\, prevention and\, above all else\, communication. \nWorld Cancer Day Facts!\n\n10 million people die from cancer every year\n1/3 of cancer cases can be prevented\, and another 1/3 can be treated if found early\nUp to 27% of cancers are related to lifestyle factors including smoking\nThe estimated global cost of cancer is to be £974 billion or $1.16 trillion\nHalf the world’s population lacks access to full cancer health services\n\nFind Inspirational World Cancer Day Speakers\nAt Great British Speakers\, we’ve worked hard to secure a team of professional cancer awareness and health experts\, who all have personal reasons as to why cancer awareness is an important topic for them.

Shortly after leaving school\, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and went through gruelling radiotherapy before being given a clean bill of health. Then in 2012 she was told that a benign lump in her left breast had developed into a malignant tumour. Poignantly\, it seems the cause of the cancer was the high dose of radiation she had when she was younger\, and because of his high does\, it meant she was unable to have anymore and so opted to have her breast removed. But once the doctors told her she had a 25% chance of the cancer returning in the other breast\, she opted for a double mastectomy.
