Dak Prescott opens up in his ongoing fight against suicide and mental health stigma at Metrocare Services' annual Meal for the Minds luncheon
Prescott, who was the keynote speaker in a conversation with NBC 5’s Laura Harris at Metrocare Services' Meal for the Minds luncheon, shared personal stories and insight into his struggles with mental health, what mental health has meant in his family and what he is doing right now to keep mental health top of mind for people in all walks of life.
“It sounds cliché, but really, I try to always find strength in adversity,” Prescott said to a room of about 300 people Tuesday in the event’s first return to in-person events since the pandemic started. “It was just so important for me to be here today just to share with you all. Dealing with my own battles, short-term battles with depression and anxiety. Then, losing my brother [Jace] to suicide. Today would have been my brother’s 34th birthday.
