May is National Mental Health Awareness Month, making this the perfect time to highlight Denver Speakers Bureau Featured Speaker, Matt Vogl.
Matt is an internationally recognized leader in the mental health field who has spent nearly 30 years working to address our nation’s mental health crisis, prevent suicide, and combat stigma. After earning degrees from Marquette University and the University of Minnesota, Matt helped found the University of Colorado Depression Center before launching the National Mental Health Innovation Center, where he worked closely with the tech industry to develop innovative approaches to prevention and treatment using tools such as apps and virtual reality.
Today, Matt is the CEO and co-founder of VXVY Mental Health, Inc.
What makes Matt’s presentations especially impactful is that his understanding of mental health is not just professional, it’s deeply personal. As part of his commitment to reducing stigma, Matt speaks candidly about living with bipolar disorder, surviving a suicide attempt, and navigating the challenges of accessing quality mental healthcare.
For more than three decades, Matt has delivered keynote presentations and lectures around the globe, including Stanford University, Harvard Medical School, the World Conference on Virtual Reality in China, NAMI events, corporate conferences, and his widely praised TEDx Talk.
