Join us for an extraordinary conversation with Kevin Humphreys—former Australian Army helicopter pilot, mental health advocate, and keynote speaker—as he shares the hidden battles behind his decorated military career.

His journey from the battlefield to the stage is a raw and powerful reminder that mental illness is not weakness—and that healing begins when we speak the truth.

About our guest:

Kevin Humphreys is a retired Army helicopter pilot, former Commanding Officer, and now a nationally recognized keynote speaker and mental health ambassador.

Kevin’s message is simple but profound: it’s not weak to speak.
