Gayathri Ramprasad Speaking Topics

  • THE HEALING POWER OF PEERS

    Most of us have felt the healing power of empathy when sharing difficult situations with someone else who has experienced similar distress. This principle, that individuals who have had the same life experiences can help each other, is the basis of peer support.

    As a Certified Peer Specialist, Gayathri has mentored people struggling with mental health issues and their families in the U.S. and India to overcome barriers to recovery and achieve wellness.

    Upon participating in this training, participants will:

    • Learn about the most essential elements of peer support
    • Explore how peer support can optimize individual and family wellbeing
    • Discover the benefits of peer support

  • CULTURE COUNTS: Variations in Cultural Value Systems and its Impact on Mental Health and Wellness

    Culture is central to mental health and wellbeing. A person’s cultural background influences how they perceive mental illness, and how much stigma they attach to it. Culture also determines whether or not a person seeks help, when and where they seek help, their coping skills and social supports. Sharing her personal recovery story and professional experience, Gayathri will explore how culture influences recovery and reintegration.

    Upon participating in this Cultural-responsive training, participants will:

    • Understand concepts of cultural legacies, and social inheritance

    • Learn three tips to create person-centered, culturally-responsive, recovery-oriented, holistic systems of care

  • CULTIVATING WELLNESS: Holistic Practices to Promote Mental Health and Wellness

    • Explore a wide variety of wellness tools

  • HEALING FROM DEPRESSION: 8 Keys to Recover & Thrive

    Depression is a leading cause of disability worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, depression affects 350 million men, women and children around the world. Although depression can be reliably diagnosed and treated, fewer than 25% of those affected have access to effective treatment. Stigma, discrimination, lack of awareness and access to affordable care deter people from seeking life-saving treatment and social supports.

    This innovative and highly interactive Wellness Workshop will inspire audiences with a renewed sense of hope, and provides a wide array of tips and tools to overcome barriers to recovery and achieve wellness.

    During this Wellness Workshop, participants will:

    • Discover 8 keys to recover & thrive
    • Learn about the 8 dimensions of wellness
    • Create Personalized Wellness Action Plans

  • FINDING THE LIGHT WITHIN: My Journey from Adversity to Advocacy

    Gayathri was born and raised in Bangalore, India, amidst ancient traditions, and a large, loving extended family. Her happy childhood, however, gave way to a traumatic adolescence. By the time she was 18, she was debilitated by generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. And, at 23, as a young mother in America, she struggled to free herself from the death-hold of depression.

    Gayathri’s signature keynote, FINDING THE LIGHT WITHIN, takes audiences on her cross-continental journey from the entrapment of mental illness to a life of empowerment and global advocacy on behalf of people struggling with mental illness around the world.
