Fighting the Darkness by Sharing Your Light
So many of us battle depression and anxiety on a regular basis. Making it even more difficult is the fact that most fight their “Darkness” in secret. Chris Hawkey was one of those people until an unlikely scenario led him to bring his battle into the light. Chris will talk about how going public with his depression helped him with his own mental health issues. He’ll also reveal how each of us can help ourselves and those we love to bring our own darkness into the light.
“One word, AWESOME!!! Both times he spoke were just wonderful. People came to the lunch and brought back their families for the evening event...I thought it went VERY WELL!”
