Ilyas Khamis
Lived Experience Speaker - RSW + RSSW - Mental Health Advocate
Welcome to my page.
I'm Ilyas.
I have been a part of the mental health community since my youth. While I couldn't accept my role at first, after an episode of psychosis humbled me I was able to see a bit more clearly. Since that experience back in November 2014, I've been working to best represent mental illness and addictions to the world.
I love talking with people. In fact, I've made it a mission of mine to have amazing conversations with as many people as I can through my peer support, counselling, and advocacy work.
For any speaking engagements, consulting work or partnerships, please reach out to me with the following form.
As a note for my counselling clients or those with whom I have worked as a peer support worker who may see this, please reach out to me through my professional email. I will not respond to any inquiries or concerns from any past or present clients/peers through this form.
This form is not for requesting new counselling or peer support services.
If you are in crisis, please call your local crisis line service or go to the nearest emergency room.
