If we can get more people to feel comfortable about getting help and talking about it, we're going to save lives doing it.
Ever wondered how the world of professional sports intersects with mental health and addiction recovery? This episode of 'The Agents of Recovery' dives deep into these critical issues. Hosted by former NFL player Max Hall, mental health therapist Blu Robinson, and recovery advocate Brock Bevell, the conversation sheds light on the often-taboo topics of trauma, anxiety, and depression in the context of addiction.
They discuss the numbing effect of substances and the importance of open communication in breaking down barriers, including toxic masculinity. The hosts also reflect on the tragic case of Henry Ruggs III, a Las Vegas Raiders receiver charged with DUI resulting in death, to highlight the real-world consequences of untreated mental health issues and addiction.
With their personal experiences and professional insights, Max, Blu, and Brock provide a supportive and empathetic space for listeners to understand the complexities of addiction and mental health. They emphasize the power of talking to like-minded individuals and seeking help without fear of judgment. This episode is a heartfelt call to action for anyone struggling with these issues or supporting someone who is. Tune in for a blend of raw honesty, practical advice, and genuine encouragement.
