A reminder to everyone on this app, including reporters covering the Olympics: mental health IS health. Remember how you speak of someone who sprains an ankle or tears their ACL. A mental health injury should be no different.

Believe me… there will be many, many new and incredible opportunities for both Chris & Andrew in the very near future.
