He has transitioned from the depths of mental “hellness” to embrace the inclusive space of mental wellness. David’s personal experience, where his live was saved, has motivated him to champion essential yet challenging conversations. He is determined to move discussion about mental illness from the shadows of silence to the forefront of public awareness.
