Host Bree Gordon talks with former sports journalist and current media specialist, Brian Murphy and hockey coach turned mental health advocate, Mark Wick. Brian and Mark share their personal mental health journeys as well as reflections on the stigmas around men and mental health. Mark and Brian speak specifically to how the athletic community has the potential to support men in their pursuit of mental wellness. Both men reference the positive impact of The Face It Foundation on their lives. According to the Face It Foundation website, "Face It was founded in 2009 with the goal to help men understand and overcome depression, and reduce the rate of male suicide" (www.faceitfoundation.org).
