It was truly a privilege having Mike speak to our teams. His documentary on disability awareness and the mental health crisis was eye-opening and inspiring to say the least. I believe everyone took something of value away from his screenings and Q and A as they or someone they know are dealing with injury or illness, physical or mental. Truly inspiring.
