What They're Saying

From my very first interaction with Scott, it was undeniably clear that he is doing the work he was put on this planet to do. His passion and connected nature shines through so brightly. I’ve been putting on speaking events for a handful of years now, some really big names, and Scott blew them all out of the water." – Jamie Harvey, Manager of Health & Wellness at Loyalty One

A charismatic and extremely knowledgeable presenter, he immediately created an easy rapport with our students, responding to their interests and questions intuitively and expertly. Impressed by our first experience we brought Scott back -- again and again -- to speak to students, staff, and parents. Each presentation was unique, carefully designed to meet the needs of each group and to create impact. His approach strikes the perfect balance of optimism, skepticism, and inspiration." - Nancy Steinhauer, Principal at The Mabin School

We have a very diverse workforce of men and women from different backgrounds, at various ages, with varying opinions about mental health but that wasn't a roadblock for Scott. His session connected with all employees who attended and weeks later we received feedback that employees were still using the tools he provided. Our company hit the mark by providing Scott Ste Marie as a resource and I would encourage other companies to do the same. If you want to invest in your employees wellbeing, Scott should be top of your list." - Melanie Britton, CarFax Canada

Scott’s visit to our school transformed the culture surrounding mental health! Immediately during the presentation, staff noticed students connecting to his message and the courage to have these important conversations became contagious. His open awareness and comforting vulnerability has increased student empathy and has left a vast ripple effect of compassion." - Eve Delisi, Grade 6 Teacher at Epiphany of our Lord TCDSB

Scott engaged our Grade 12 students on the topic of mental health with humour and vulnerability. His message was spot on, clear and concise and he adapted his presentation for their age and stage so perfectly it felt as if he knew them. His passion for changing the landscape of mental health through connecting with youth is remarkable. I highly recommend Scott as a speaker for youth of all ages. We can't wait to have him back!" - Jennifer Lillie, Director of Student Success at Greenwood College

Scott Ste Marie gave our office a refreshing and very real perspective on what mental health means, along with some practical coping tools to deal with stress both at home and in the workplace. I would definitely recommend Depression to Expression to any employer looking to educate and help the staff on what is one of the most important issues in the workplace today.” - Gary Hopkins, CEO of Air Charter Service Canada

Scott instantly captured my attention. His knowledge and passion around the topic of social media and mental health is so clear and powerful. He is engaging and a really easy person to connect with for both students and parents. I look forward to continuing to learn from Scott!" - Jen Peacock, Founder of Straight Up Health

After seeing Scott speak at our board's annual Mental Health Symposium, our students knew that they wanted to invite him to speak in our own community. His honest and raw perspective on mental health is balanced by his sense of humour and great delivery. He was able to capture the attention of students and left them feeling positive about the steps that they can take to support others. I would highly recommend Scott and look forward to working with him again in the near future." - Andrew Muia, Student Success Teacher at Loretto Abbey Catholic High School
