Comedy Stage Hypnotist, Trainer & Speaker Announces New Relationship with Partners for Mental Health

TORONTO - April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Naoshad Pochkhanawala from http://thehypnoticdude.com has volunteered to work with and support Partners for Mental Health (PMH) as a speaker and corporate champion. Naoshad was previously disabled due to mental illness and spoke quite candidly about his experiences while a candidate in Ontario’s last provincial election. In regards to his new role he says, “The Partners for Mental Health have a mission to change what is normal and acceptable around mental illness and its associated issues in Canada – a mission that all Canadians, in fact all decent people should embrace.”

PMH has a small core staff and utilizes hundreds of volunteers across Canada. These volunteers educate, rally support and advocate on a variety of mental health issues but this may be the first speaker who offers to discuss the issues and then illustrate changing moods by putting volunteers into trances.

About Parners for Mental Health Canada

The genesis for Partners for Mental Health came from the Mental Health Commission of Canada, which was established in the fall of 2007. The Framework for a Mental Health Strategy for Canada, issued by the Mental Health Commission of Canada, identified an opportunity to catalyze a social movement in support of transformative change for mental health in Canada and the concept of Partners for Mental Health was formed. In November 2010, Partners for Mental Health became an independent registered charity in Canada. Partners for Mental Health operates independently of the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) and has its own Board of Directors and employees.

Partners for Mental Health, an independent registered charity, is a national organization dedicated to "supercharging" a social movement that will transform the way Canadians think and act towards their own mental health, and towards people living with a mental health problem or illness.

In partnership with others, we will empower and mobilize Canadians to take action that will:

·         Encourage people to pay more attention to their own mental health and well-being.

·         Positively change attitudes and behaviours towards those living with mental health problems or illnesses.

·         Help change policies to improve the mental health system.

·         Increase funding for programs, services and research.
