Former NFL QB Eric Hipple shares how tears became a turning point. Crying isn’t weakness—it’s release. It’s healing. Let’s teach it. Let’s lead with it. #988CrisisJam #MentalHealthMatters #MenCryToo #HealingTools #SuicidePrevention #EricHipple #AthletesAndMentalHealth

Eric Hipple speaks truth—real recovery isn’t just treatment plans. It’s mindset shifts. What we resist, persists. What we embrace, transforms. #988CrisisJam #GratitudePractice #MentalHealthRecovery #SuicideSurvivor #EricHipple #ToolsThatHeal
