Join us for a conversation with two NFL athletes who found strength in vulnerability.

DAK PRESCOTT, the Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback and team captain, earns recognition for his leadership on and off the field. Known for his authenticity, Dak’s willingness to share his family’s story and talk openly about his own mental health challenges has started a revolution across our country. He established the Faith Fight Finish Foundation as a tribute to his mom, Peggy, who lost her battle with colon cancer in 2013, and its work honors his brother, Jace, who died by suicide in 2020. The foundation invests in a better future by empowering individuals, families and communities to find strength through adversity. Mental health and suicide prevention is one of the foundation’s four main pillars of work, and Dak’s goal is to champion every person struggling with mental illness by helping them to know that their life matters and that they are not alone.

Dallas native SOLOMON THOMAS has played six seasons in the NFL as a defensive tackle. Solomon experienced an unimaginable loss five years ago, when his big sister Ella died by suicide. This traumatic and personal loss led the Thomas family to start The Defensive Line, which focuses on mental health and suicide prevention. Solomon has dedicated his life to sharing Ella’s story. His courage to vulnerably share his experience through national media outlets like CNN, ESPN, The New York Times, and others has established him as a respected advocate in the field. Solomon was the recipient of the 2019 AFSP Lifesavers Award and works closely with the NFL to improve mental health programming in the league.
