Conference Speaker
Authentic keynote speaking on addiction awareness, recovery, resilience, and mental health. Available for conferences, corporate events, schools, and community gatherings.
Addiction touches every industry, every profession, and every social circle - yet the conversation remains clouded by stigma, misinformation, and discomfort.
Gad Avnon, co-founder of Harmony Retreat and a counsellor with over 30 years of lived and professional experience, brings a frank, authentic, and deeply human voice to the subject. Whether addressing a corporate conference, a community gathering, a faith community, or a school, his keynote is built around real stories of recovery, the neuroscience of addiction, and a practical framework for creating genuinely supportive environments.
Gad tailors each session to the specific audience and their objectives, and is available nationally and internationally. Enquiries are welcome from organisations of any size and sector.
