Speaker, Trainer, Writer and Advocate
David Woods Bartley
ROCKLIN, California
Like most people, David Woods Bartley has seen his fair share of successes and setbacks – from directing a nationally recognized nonprofit to battling a life-threatening mental illness. But over the last seven years, he has successfully navigated from the isolation of mental “hellness” to the inclusive space of mental wellness.
Currently, Bartley is a member of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the International Association for Youth Mental Health, the National Storytelling Network’s Healing Story Alliance and Active Minds. He has been invited to speak before a wide range of audiences across the U.S., giving keynote speeches and leading workshops on a variety of aspects of mental health, including suicide awareness, suicide prevention, the power of connection and the use of language as a tool of healing.
In addition to giving a TEDx Talk in fall 2018, Bartley has been invited to present to organizations such as the United States Food and Drug Administration, the Army Corps of Engineers, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, Lyft and California Northstate School of Medicine, along with various faith denominations, law enforcement agencies and community organizations at the national, state and local level.
Bartley’s goal for each speech and workshop is the same: to shed light on the issue of mental wellbeing, teach people how to leverage curiosity to overcome our fears and use connection to create hope.
