No Restraints with Rudy Caseres Episode 8: Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas

Read Now

This week on No Restraints with Rudy Caseres my guest is Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas. Sally is one of the most influential voices in suicide prevention today. She’s a big proponent for innovation, social justice, and amplifying the voices of people with lived experience. She travels the world as a public speaker and has won numerous awards for her advocacy and research work. If that isn’t enough she is also one of the founders of ManTherapy.org which is changing the way men talk about mental health. If that isn’t enough she’s also a marathon runner which we sadly didn’t get to discuss today. That just means I’ll have to have Sally on again....

While you’re there you can sign up for her newsletter and find out how to hire her to speak for your organization. You can also reach her on Twitter @sspencerthomas and follow her Dr. Sally Speaks Facebook page.

Thanks again for supporting No Restraints with Rudy Caseres. I’m taking a break next Friday as I’ll be doing my monthly Facebook Live for Mental Health on the Mighty. But you can be rest assured I’ll be back in full force in two weeks time. So hang in there...

Because it’s for your own good.

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.
