Life Transformer Virtual Speaker

Psychospiritual Coach
Krista Allen
Krista Allen is a celebrated actress and comedian, turned transformational recovery & psychospiritual coach, working in the field of complex trauma and addiction. After 25 years of going down a rabbit hole in the “system” and getting more sick, with well intentioned but ill-informed psychiatrists, therapists, and rehabs, Krista made a life changing decision to become an advocate for her personal recovery by becoming a mental health detective. She spent years studying and learning how to uncover her brain and mind connection to her body. Her mission was to discover what caused her continual health issues, that doctors could not pinpoint, and her inability to regulate emotionally in her day-to-day. Krista is also an Epigentics trainer. She looks at genetic data, through a System’s approach that looks at your history and experiences, as well as the cutting edge research from genome wide association studies, to figure out which lifestyle modifications her clients can adopt in order to optimize their health and help them become more resilient to stressors, aging, and addictions.

About
MENTAL HEALTH
According to the CDC (Centers Disease Control), problems with mental health are very common in the United States, with an estimated 50% of all Americans diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime. Mental illnesses, such as depression, are the third most common cause of hospitalization in the United States for those aged 18-44 years old and adults living with serious mental illness die on average 25 years earlier than others.
According to NIMH (National Institute Mental Health), Mental illnesses are common in the United States. Nearly one in five U.S. adults live with a mental illness (51.5 million in 2019). Mental illnesses include many different conditions that vary in degree of severity, ranging from mild, to moderate to severe. Two broad categories can be used to describe these conditions: Any Mental Illness (AMI) and Serious Mental Illness (SMI).
According to WHO (World Health Organization), In recent years, there has been increasing acknowledgment of the important role mental health plays in achieving global development goals, as illustrated by the inclusion of mental health in the Sustainable Development Goals. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. People with severe mental health conditions die prematurely – as much as two decades early – due to preventable physical conditions.
Despite progress in some countries, people with mental health conditions often experience severe human rights violations, discrimination, and stigma.
Many mental health conditions can be effectively treated at a relatively low cost, yet the gap between people needing care and those with access to care remains substantial. Effective treatment coverage remains extremely low.
Increased investment is required on all fronts: for mental health awareness to increase understanding and reduce stigma; for efforts to increase access to quality mental health care and effective treatments; and for research to identify new treatments, and improve existing treatments, for all mental disorders. In 2019, WHO launched the WHO Special Initiative for Mental Health (2019-2023): Universal Health Coverage for Mental Health, to ensure access to quality and affordable care for mental health conditions in 12 priority countries, to 100 million more people.
This is why Dr. Heather Henley and Dr. Sharmee Pratt have partnered so that they could not only educate, but give hope to those who believe there is no hope. Their desire is to help restore minds, one person at a time! This is the first, of many, Mental Health Matters Symposiums.
