About the Event 

This session will discuss Mental Health in general and why early detection is paramount from a biological and psychological perspective.

We will also hear about a real-life journey where the system failed the speaker and his family, and how that has motivated him to help those in distress who can’t seem to get the support they need.

Mark Boorman

Mark is a Project Director for Turner & Townsend and runs major programmes for clients in his day job.

Mark began his interest with mental health as a parent who needed support and the ‘system’ failed him and his family several years ago. Since then, he has become motivated to help those in distress who can’t seem to get the support they need. He has become a Mental Health First Aider, and he is now T&T’s Wellbeing lead in the UK.
