In this powerful webinar, David Woods Bartley shares his deeply personal journey from suicidal despair to a life filled with great hope and purpose. Drawing from his lived experience and more than 1,000 presentations worldwide, most delivered to military audiences, Bartley introduces an innovative attack plan that moves beyond the traditional focus on suicide prevention. His proactive, human-centered approach confronts the enemy upstream of a crisis by equipping participants with simple yet powerful tactics, techniques and procedures that leverage human connection to create hope: because hope is the ultimate weapon against suicide.

A three-time TEDx speaker, 2021 Steinberg Institute Mental Health Champion, and the 2025 Speaker of the Year for Mental Health and Suicide, Bartley shares his journey from mental “hellness” to mental wellness to help audiences rethink how we talk about mental health.
