One in four adults deal with mental illness every day. This week, a national speaker on mental health issues is in the Quad Cities, sharing his story and goals for the community.

Quotes from Mike Veny:

“As a child, I was hospitalized three times in a psychiatric hospital. I was expelled from three schools for behavior problems, and I tried to attempt suicide at age 10…and I have to struggle every single day to wonder if I’m going to end up back in the hospital.”

“If you want to find where stigma starts, get out of your seat, go into the hallway, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror. It starts with you.”

“Hi, I’m Mike video, mentally ill…I just wanted to see what kind of reaction I would get, right?”

“Stigma starts with shame. I was feeling ashamed about my history. Silence leads to sabotage self destructive behavior and potentially suicidal behavior.”

“Be intentional about taking care of yourself. You can live a successful life regardless of the challenges that you face. It’s okay to not be okay.”

“My name is Mike Veny. Thank you for being a wonderful audience today.”

Quotes from attendees:

“I really enjoyed his presentation.”

“I came to this training today just because Mike was gonna be here.”

“He basically, essentially changed the tone of the room from ‘let’s think seriously about things and worry a little bit. to ‘let’s be happy!’

“You know, a lot of it comes down to, you know, finding that creative outlet to express yourself, work through your issues, get out your anger.”

“Very often those of us in the helping profession are so busy doing many things, we don’t take time to take care of ourselves.”

“I felt of all the presenters, he was the most lively…really just full of life, quick, engaging and to the point. It was something that I think everyone left feeling positively about.”

“Feel positive and let’s view mental health challenges as something that is an interesting part of ourselves.”

“Keep the conversation around disability going so that we can achieve our goals of full inclusion.”

“I’m going to start taking better care of myself as a promise to him.”
