I'm Benn Lockyer, a speaker, bereaved father, and mental health advocate.
After losing my son James at only 3 days old, I faced a tidal wave of grief and mental health challenges.

For a long time I told myself that if I just kept busy, I'd be okay.
But the silence only weighed on my grief, and it wasn't until I spoke up and asked for help that my healing journey began.
Now, I'm dedicated to helping others find the same courage to speak up and build resilience.
Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, it's a display of strength.
Whether in the workplace or at home, no one should have to struggle alone.

"Benn doesn’t just speak to the audience; he speaks with them. He reads the room beautifully, ensuring that his words truly resonate with everyone listening."
I know what it means to rebuild from the ground up.
I spark real conversations about mental health, and help workplaces create environments where people feel safe, supported, and are empowered to speak up when facing life's toughest challenges.
Through keynotes, workshops, and real-life stories, I show audiences that true resilience isn't about staying silent, it's about courage, communication, and connection.
