Check out, Invisible: Breaking Through the Stigma of Addiction on Rogers TV
“As keynote speaker, Dean really heard what we wanted to achieve with our event. He delivered a message that was evidence-based and melded his passion and first-hand experience to put a face on addictions. We appreciated his personable and genuine delivery style, taking a difficult topic and making it relatable and engaging. Indeed, his talk provided new perspectives on how we can better empathize with and, as a result, support people battling addictions. Thank you Dean! ”
It doesn’t impact me, does it?
Imagine for a moment the amount of people you interact with on a daily basis; in your family, workplace, community or during extracurricular activities. With the knowledge more than twenty percent of individuals has personally experienced substance abuse or addictions, not including behavioural addictions such as gambling, internet, food or sex, it is safe to say that someone you know may be impacted by some form of dependency.
Addiction can create unseen impacts in our society, such as taxes, workplace performance and safety, business profits, insurance rates as well as city and emergency services. The requirement for support and healthy coping strategies has never been more prevalent than it is today.
When looking to create a change to help protect, positively influence or prevent continued addictive patterns or behaviours, education and personal growth has been proven to be most effective to generate long lasting results.
Hiring Dean Anderson to engage your audience will create an atmosphere that is safe, respectful, educational as well as entertaining. His extensive background as a Certified Addictions Counselor, his own lived experiences with alcoholism, as well as being a professional comedian, all create an opportunity for structured content as well as provide light comedic enhancements to this typically tender topic.
