Damien shares the deeply personal story behind Coffee Foundation, a Swiss-based organization using coffee to spark meaningful conversations about mental health and fight against stigma, judgment, prejudice, shame, and isolation. • First social brand of its kind in Switzerland, having donated 15,000 Swiss francs to three suicide prevention charities • Created the first English telephone crisis line in Switzerland for English speakers • Vision to develop into a youth social enterprise where young people drive their own mental health narrative • Currently operates in virtual space at coffeefoundation.com with plans for physical and expanded virtual meeting spaces • Aims to bring positive, uplifting approach to mental health conversations rather than "more violins and tears" • Uses bold branding and a tuxedo-wearing spokesperson to challenge Switzerland's conservative culture • Believes in active listening as a fundamental skill many have lost in our tech-focused world Damien O'Brien Tel: +41 79 777 0489 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/damien-o-596032b/ Website: https://www.coffeefoundation.com/ Email:
