‘“He’s using his platforms to speak out about his own struggles and because he’s an important member in our community, he’s a Buffalo Bill, he really is a role model for a lot of folks,” said MHA’s executive director, Melinda DuBois. “Especially for our youth, he’s really a role model, so him publicly stating that he struggles with his own mental health is huge for our community. What we’re really encouraging people to do is be able to talk about their own personal struggles. The more we talk about it, the less stigmatized it is. So we’re really honoring Jordan for his willingness to speak out.”’
