Al Madale is a mental health advocate, educator, and aspiring motivational speaker and NLP practitioner with a decade long experience in transformational leadership as a trainer and facilitator. His mission in transforming lives started with his interest in mental health, after witnessing the challenges, stigma and discrimination among those people affected with mental health issues. His experience as psychiatric nurse; who provides holistic care to patients diagnosed with mental illness and support to families affected, opened his understanding on how mental illness is seen as more of a curse or punishment and rather than a medical condition.

 

Motivated to help those who are in need, he provided support as a mental health worker to people who were mentally struggling among people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHIV) and to children who are abused and neglected.

 

As a motivational speaker, he speaks on youth and transformational leadership in different schools and universities, agencies and civic organizations. He started young during his high school year as youth trainer, whose mission was to inspire and help the youth reach their full potentials as future leaders in the community.

 

Currently, he is an active mental health advocate in the country who envisions to establish a youth oriented foundation to help youth overcome adversities and reach their full potential. He serves as a mental health advocate thru HopePH, an online community of mental health carers and strugglers which aims to provide support, information and advocacy on mental wellness.
