HUNTSVILLE,
Ala. (WAFF)
- On Saturday afternoon, students and members of the community were encouraged
to sit in on a seminar on the campus of Alabama A&M University discussing
the importance of mental health, led by NFL veteran defensive-end and
Huntsville native, Trey Flowers.
Flowers
started his foundation, Flowers of the Future, back in 2019 with the mission to
provide the tools for the overall betterment of youth. Saturday’s topic of
discussion was all about significance of mental health.
“To
walk away with just the tools to withstand and persevere through those hard
times,” Flowers says. “You know the thing about life, ‘life be lifing’ as they
say, so you have to have the tools, you got to be instilled with the type of
mindset to just kind of handle those stressors and have the perspective on life
to really enjoy life.”
This
discussion was the first of its kind for Trey Flowers, but he plans to make the
event annual.
