Welcome, Mark Williams, founder International Fathers Mental Health Day. #INTFatherMHDay #dadsmhday Listen, as he details his path to its creation. And, while this is the official day’s second year, Mark has been on my show before! Please listen to his previous episode here. Today, he delves into his story deeper, sharing details of the darker side of undiagnosed ADHD including alcohol and substance abuse. Fortunately, Mark sought help and lives to tell his tale. He hopes by sharing all, it will help others to seek help too.
