Jordan will discuss mental health issues and disorders that affect so many of us. He tells his story of struggling with depression and going through high school hiding his internal battle. In high school, Jordan had everything to live for. He was popular, had good grades, and was a star athlete. His miraculous survival propelled him to begin to deal with his depression and learn healthier coping mechanisms.
Jordan has been speaking on his story and mental health all over the country for over three years. He?s spoken in 29 different states and 3 different countries. His brave and relatable presentation will encourage students and inform them that talking about whatever they are going through is a sign of remarkable strength.
This program is sponsored in part by a grant from the NCAA, the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics, the Counseling Center, the Division of Student Affairs Parent Fund, the Center for Student Diversity, AMP, Active Minds, and the Student Assembly. All are welcome and encouraged to hear Jordan?s powerful and inspirational story.
