Our host, LUL President & CEO Lyndon Pryor, is joined by Royce Jones, Mental Health Therapist for UofL Athletics. Jones provides direct clinical behavioral health and/or substance use services to student athletes.
Our duo discusses the pressure student-athletes face, the importance of teaching emotional regulation, and the need to reduce the stigma of therapy in the Black community.
Jones is a 14-year Navy veteran who later pursued a degree in business before realizing his passion for therapy and obtaining his Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
