“We are here to shatter the stigma associated with the shame, guilt, & the embarrassment of struggle. We are here to make counseling, therapy & support groups as common as hiring a personal trainer or going to the doctor.”

In this episode of 'The High Cost of Anonymity', Preston Moore shares a candid look into his recent struggles with anxiety and frustration.
