Mental Health Advocate
I offer engaging presentations on loneliness, mental health, and the power of human connection by drawing on my personal journey living with Bipolar 1 disorder, navigating homelessness and isolation, and finding recovery through meaningful relationships, creativity, and community.
We are facing a growing challenge of loneliness and social disconnection with real impact on mental health, especially on campuses where many are navigating these pressures while searching for belonging. By reaching beyond our isolation, building meaningful relationships, and rediscovering the value of community, we can help each other along the way.
It Takes a Village to Heal.
Building Connections through Community, Music, and Inspiration.
Join me on a journey of hope and healing as we explore the power of human connection, community, and shared experiences in supporting mental health and recovery.
Speaking for Mental Health
Engaging presentations on mental health and recovery, with live musical performances
“It is unusual for a visiting speaker/scholar/practitioner at Harvard to reach an audience on so many levels: hearts, minds and even hands. Patrick’s calm but intense energy and boundless optimism are infectious and powerful tools, especially in combination with his artistic prowess behind the camera and his profound belief in human dignity and our ability to heal ourselves and each other. I’m glad we brought Patrick to Harvard to share his projects and recommend him to other organizations that want to have a frank, practical and far-reaching conversation about contemporary Africa, and the universality of mental health challenges.”
Dr. Susan Cook, Executive Director, Committee on African Studies, Harvard University
