DR. CAROLINE LEAF
Dr. Caroline Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. Since the early 1980s she has researched the mind-brain connection, the nature of mental health, and the formation of memory. She was one of the first in her field to study how the brain can change (neuroplasticity) with directed mind input. During her years in clinical practice she worked with many people who struggled with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE), learning disabilities (ADD, ADHD), autism, dementias and mental ill-health issues like anxiety and depression.
Dr. Leaf is also the bestselling author of 'Switch on Your Brain', 'Think Learn Succeed', 'Think and Eat Yourself Smart', and many more. She teaches at academic, medical and neuroscience conferences, churches, and to various audiences around the world. She is also part of the mental health initiative in Washington, DC. Dr. Leaf is currently conducting ongoing clinical trials using the 5-step program she developed while in private practice to further demonstrate the effectiveness of mind-directed techniques to help relieve mental ill-health problems such as anxiety, depression and intrusive thoughts.
ELIZABETH MANLEY
Elizabeth Manley competed 40 years in both amateur and professional figure skating. She has participated in two Olympic Games (where she won the 1988 silver medal and became the Olympic Freestyle Champion), six World Championships, and has won three National Titles.
Since her retirement from amateur competition, Elizabeth Manley was awarded The Order of Canada. She is the author of two autobiographies, and she has also starred in three major television specials, which won a Gemini Award.
Elizabeth is a member of the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame, and the Skate Canada Hall of Fame. In 2015 Elizabeth received one of the highest honours in Ottawa ” The Builders Award ” from United Way which recognized her continuous contributions and work in the community for charitable work. As well, in 2020 received the “Inspiration Award” from the Royal Ottawa for her continued work and support towards Mental Health.
COREY HIRSCH
A former NHL Goaltender, NHL Coach, and Olympic Silver Medalist. Corey was drafted by the New York Rangers in 1991. In 1994, he was an active roster member of the New York Rangers Stanley Cup Championship team. He was traded by the New York to Vancouver in 1995, and after an outstanding rookie year during the '95-'96 NHL season, he was named to the NHL’s All-Rookie team. Corey went on to play over 100 NHL games, making stops in Nashville, Washington and Dallas before finishing out his career in Europe.
During his time in New York and Vancouver, Corey battled severe panic attacks and depression. After the '94 season, one in which Corey won an Olympic Silver medal and drank out of the Stanley Cup, Corey would make an unsuccessful attempt at his own life. After his attempt, Corey would go on to try to hide his mental health issues in the NHL for 3 more years. When he could no longer play due to the debilitating panic attacks and severe weight loss, he finally reached out to his team trainer. Corey was eventually diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder and got the lifesaving treatment that he needed.
Corey has now dedicated his life to becoming a mental health advocate in the battle to end the stigma. He is an engaging speaker that educates, motivates, and inspires his audience. He gives hope to others struggling by showing vulnerability and letting people know they are not alone.
Today, Corey is thriving. He has 3 children and is a radio broadcaster for the Vancouver Canucks.
