This week on No Restraints with Rudy Caseres my guest is Mark Henick. Mark is a mental health speaker/strategist based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is most well known for his 2013 TEDx Talk "Why We Choose Suicide" which has been viewed on YouTube nearly five million times so far. You may have also seen him on Canadian television where he has often sought to speak out on issues related to mental health and suicide prevention. I had a feeling Mark and I would get along well and this very lively interview certainly proves that. Please go show your support by following him on social media and watching and sharing his TEDx Talk.

ABOUT RUDY

My name is Rudy Caseres and I am an award-winning public speaker, live-streaming, social media influencer/manager, and storytelling event producer. I am the host of No Restraints with Rudy Caseres where I have live interactive candid discussions with the leading advocates in mental health, human rights, and suicide prevention (currently on hiatus). I also host a monthly panel discussion for The Mighty with the leading mental health advocates in the world. I previously hosted SPSM Chat - Suicide Prevention Social Media where I led lively discussions with various experts in the field of suicidology. I advocate for humane treatment in the mental healthcare system and effective suicide prevention. I have given over 100 presentations in which I have shared my story of living with bipolar, surviving a mental breakdown while serving in the US Army, and fighting against forced psychiatric treatment in front of grad students, doctors, psych ward patients, educators, and youth at junior highs, high schools, and juvenile detention facilities. I have spoken across the country from the California State Capitol at an event headlined by legendary actor Richard Dreyfus to the Shedding Light on Mental Health Conference in Greater Wheeling, West Virginia. My content has been featured in The Mighty, This is My Brave, HealthyPlace, The S Word, OC87 Recovery Diaries, Sweatpants & Coffee, Stigma Fighters, and Schizophrenic NYC. In 2017, I was awarded the NAMI California Outstanding Peer of the Year and I was named one of The Mighty's Mental Health Heroes of 2017. After living in Los Angeles, California most of my life I recently relocated to the Denver, Colorado area.
