In this powerful episode of Unintended Consequences from Intent Clinical, hosts Diana Clark and Arden O’Connor are joined by Eric Kussin, a dynamic mental health advocate and former sports industry executive. Eric brings a fresh, thought-provoking perspective to the conversation, challenging the status quo of mental health messaging.

Eric’s passion for changing how we approach mental health, combined with his powerful personal narrative, makes this a conversation you won’t want to miss.
