As a longtime client of VIV Mental Health, I am pleased to offer my wholehearted endorsement of their services. From our monthly safety meetings, annual audits, and employee/leadership training to their ongoing role as our mental health and psychological safety touch point, Kris and his team have gone above and beyond in delivering support for our team in every way we could have hoped.

Throughout his engagement with Explore Edmonton, Kris demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication. He possesses excellent communication skills, which were evident in his ability to engage participants from diverse backgrounds and levels within the organization. I have no hesitation in recommending VIV Mental Health for any facilitation or workshop-related role!

“Kris and Rachelle facilitated two leadership workshops for our global workforce and they fulfilled all expectations! The presentations were highly engaging, fostering an environment where our staff felt comfortable sharing their insights and experiences. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive and we eagerly anticipate future sessions!”

“The training was amazing – I’d like a full day next time! Kris was very responsive to the room and sparked some great conversations. As a mom and as well as a leader in my workplace I will definitely be implementing what I learned both at home and with my teams. Thank you for exploring these topics through so many different lenses.”

“Incredible session. Kris was the perfect facilitator. The pace was great – and how he shared details about his personal journey throughout made me feel like I could share my thoughts more. There was so much to take away from this workshop – I’m so happy I took this!”

“This consulting team is so thoughtful (and thorough!) in their design, approach, and delivery of services. Kris brings charisma, SO much heart, and clearly loves and values his work. I love what Kris and Rachelle are doing in the community as well. Without a doubt, I would recommend them to any company looking for training and facilitation!”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Kris and the VĪV team on a number of occasions – I highly recommend! Kris is genuine, authentic, and an excellent leader and collaborator. He brings so much value to every piece of work and creates strong, healthy environments to work in.”

“Kris is compassionate, resourceful, and his sessions and conversations are always so thoughtful and relevant. His superpower seems to be that he can draw out the best in people, helping others feel comfortable with their own vulnerability and creating a safe space for folks to exist freely without judgement.”

“I’ve been listening to your podcast and I love it. It’s so good! Thank you so much for being so vulnerable and sharing your story. It makes it so much easier for people to open up and help remove the stigma behind mental health struggles. Thank you so much!”

“Kris is a true professional. From the start of his presentation to the end, he had the full attention of my students. A talented speaker with a wealth of knowledge on the subject. I highly recommend!”

“One of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. Amazing job.”

“I just wanted to reach out and thank you for speaking to our class today, it really resonated with me. As someone who’s struggled with mental health for a long time, hearing you talk about you personal struggles felt so relatable and less lonely. I appreciate your candour.”
