Men and Mental Health: A Conversation with NFL Players Dak Prescott and Solomon Thomas
Thursday, September 8, 2022
It’s important for men to feel comfortable discussing mental health – but we all have different ways of expressing ourselves. In this frank, open conversation, Solomon Thomas of the New York Jets and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys discuss their own mental health journeys and how they show up for themselves, their friends, and their families, on the field and off.
Moderated by Dr. Doreen Marshall, the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s vice president of mission engagement, the conversation will include a discussion of:
- the unique challenges of being a man and talking about mental health openly
- how we can all be there for our friends
- healing from suicide loss – Solomon from the loss of his sister, and Dak from the loss of his brother
- strategies for encouraging a #RealConvo with people who may not be used to talking about what they’re going through
- tips for managing your mental health on an ongoing basis, and how to reach out for help when you need it
