Every Vessel Needs a Guide

My name is Annie Valentine, founder of Annie Valentine Mental Health Training and Consulting. I bring a unique and deeply passionate approach to mental health education—one grounded in both professional expertise and lived experience.

 I offer thought-centered education—training that doesn’t just deliver information but transforms how we think about mental health. It’s reflective, practical, and rooted in human experience, empowering individuals to respond to mental health challenges with empathy, confidence, and clarity.

I partner with businesses, schools, community organizations, and families to build understanding, foster resilience, and equip people with the tools they need to recognize and respond to mental health concerns. Through trauma-informed, equity-centered training and consulting, I help create environments where individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered.

My goal is to move communities from awareness to action—shifting culture, not just content.

I believe that just as “seas never stay smooth, and a smooth sea never makes a skilled sailor,” navigating mental health in today’s world requires courage, guidance, and skill. Every vessel needs a guide—and I’m here to help chart the course
