Beyond Clinical Awareness & Understanding
From heartache and loss to unexpected adventures and healing, Jenny is passionate about sharing the lessons she's learned to empower others.
Author, international speaker, and educator Jenny Thrasher brings a much-needed voice to the mental health conversation. In addition to language, evidence-based practices, and self-care techniques, she uses personal stories to move audiences beyond clinical awareness to a humanized understanding.
Jenny's message is courageous & compassionate.
(With a touch of humor)
Jenny connects with audiences through firsthand experiences about overcoming her own depressive and suicidal episodes, being a survivor of suicide and supporting her daughter from a state of attempting suicide to thriving.
Some of the topics covered include:
Mental health
Increase understanding and awareness to effectively respond to a crisis.
Mental health isn’t simply a matter of wellness versus illness. There is a spectrum, and each of us navigates it every day. Jenny aims to help you understand it better so you can confidently support others and achieve optimal health and wellness.
Suicide
Create a safe space for effective conversations – without stigma.
Simply talking about suicide isn’t going to save lives, but improving how we talk about it will. Learn a safe language that eliminates the stigma, shame, guilt, and fear that put someone at the highest risk of suicide; and how to respond to someone in need effectively.
Parenting
Learn different techniques and support options for children.
After Jenny's daughter Kaeli attempted suicide at age 15, she learned that one form of treatment is often insufficient. She developed the human health connection and the daily mental health checklist to help Kaeli and others discover their unique path to wellness.
Self-love
Discover the healing potential of self-love and love for others.
When we love ourselves, validation from outside sources is no longer needed. Anger occurs less frequently, forgiveness is easy, and living our highest potential becomes a reality. Learn to harness the healing power of love to enhance self-care, wellness, and connection.

Corporate organizations

Schools, colleges, and universities

“Impactful, powerful, educational. Thank you for sharing your heartbreaking personal experiences. You are one strong woman and an inspiration for us all.”
“I believe the stigma around mental health is based in part on helplessness. We're uncomfortable hearing about a person's mental health challenges because we don't know how to help. You are changing that and saving lives in the process.”
“Thank you Jenny. You are a miracle and a light for this world. Happy I get to live in it with you!”
"Before hearing Jenny's talk I had begun to feel life wasn't worth living but I didn't understand what I was feeling and I didn't know how to express it to anyone. Jenny helped me put words to what I was feeling and made me realize that I had to speak to my loved ones about it. She also provided me with 'treatment' options I had never thought of. I already feel like a weight has been lifted."
“This has truly touched my heart.”
"Her passion for raising awareness and instilling hope in others is powerful and inspirational."
