It’s not easy to speak frankly about the struggles one faces in life, especially when those struggles are things that carry a stigma in our society, like mental health concerns and substance use disorder.
When people going through these challenges and working toward recovery share their stories, it can help break that stigma for others and encourage them to seek necessary help. That’s exactly what Hayden Hurst is doing.
AtlantaFalcons.com worked with Hurst and his family to share his journey: Battling substance use disorder, surviving a suicide attempt, and working hard for his recovery. The videos were released earlier in December, and if you haven’t seen them, I strongly encourage you to watch them.
