Adrian Garcia is a switched-on mental health campaigner, who works tirelessly to end the mental health stigma. He is a speaker and runs workshops to educate people on mental health diagnoses and suicide prevention. He’s also Commander-in-Chief of the Black Dog campaign with Mental Health Charity SANE in the UK, working with schools, universities, corporates and public events.
I wanted to have Adrian on the pod, because he has so much incredible insight and wisdom into anxiety – especially in how it affects men and young people. And he’s a key player in the discussion around how we talk about mental health.
