The Peckham Community Partnership Foundation invites you to our annual Fall Speaker Series featuring
Ryan Leaf
former NFL player and mental health advocate
"Afternoon session from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m."
Please join us as we host Ryan Leaf, former NFL Player and Mental & Behavioral Health Advocate, for our Fall Speaker Series.
As the number 2 pick in the 1998, NFL draft behind Peyton Manning, Leaf was one of the most promising collegiate football players of his time, and rivaled Manning for the Heisman trophy. But Leaf’s struggles with mental illness and substance abuse led him to a path that resulted in losing his NFL career and spending time in prison.
Today, Ryan Leaf is the voice for the recovery community. His mission is to reach anyone in need of hope. At one time, Leaf felt completely consumed by his mental health issues and the only way to pacify his pain was with drugs. Out of that desolation, he hopes to inspire others to begin their road to recovery to see that happiness and health can always be achieved.
On Tuesday, October 24, join us as we hear from Leaf’s life lessons and gain insight into the intricacies of emotional, cognitive and behavioral health. Ryan hopes to inspire others to begin their road to recovery by sharing his personal story.
This event is sure to be compelling and thought-provoking for individuals of all ages, including working professionals and athletes. Space will fill up quickly, so be sure to reserve a space today!
Please extend the invitation to those in your network.
Sincerely,
Mitch Tomlinson
President & CEO, Peckham Inc.
