Liel Bridgford, a disabled psychologist, educator and writer providing a keynote speech about disability and mental health for st john of God Accord in Melbourne.

Shea Shelton, Marketing & Communications Manager, St John of God Accord

“We hired Liel as our keynote speaker for International Day of People with Disability – and she was absolutely incredible! Liel spoke passionately about the topic of mental health and disability. Liel’s presentation was well researched, supported by visual cues, completely accessible and very warm and engaging. We had countless compliments from the attendees both in person and online, and from our Board and Trustees who attended on the day. In the lead up to the event Liel spent a lot of time preparing for the presentation, spending time with our Director of Mission to really understand who we were and what we were trying to achieve as an organisation.  We really hope to work with Liel again – thank you for supporting our community to learn more about mental health and disability!”
