Rick Edward has been helping children and teens cope with their mental health problems at the Clarity Child Guidance Center since 1976.

Why was a snowman standing amid a pile of carrots? Because he was trying to pick his nose. Rick Edwards is someone who understands the value of a good “dad joke.” And that knee-slapper is one of his favorites.
