NCTCA 2025

Join us to hear Tyler Smith share about his experiences navigating mental health and grief in the face of tragedy. He’ll share details about his life over the last six years, the experiences he’s gone through, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. From compassion, empathy, perspective and many topics in between, Tyler aims to create a space where individuals feel welcomed and appreciated through his storytelling. Public speaking has become one of Tyler’s greatest passions and he hopes that attendees will leave the session feeling hopeful and inspired. Tyler has founded his mental health awareness clothing line called ‘Not Alone Co.’ Not Alone is all about helping facilitate meaningful conversations around mental health with the messaging that is presented on Not Alone’s variety of apparel. Not Alone donates portions of the proceeds to different charities and foundations across Canada including Jack.org. Tyler hopes to build a lasting community with Not Alone that focuses on vulnerability and conversation.
