Kevin Donaldson knows suffering.
Suffering was the springboard from his childhood into a precarious relationship as he climbed the ranks as a police officer. His suffering spiraled after a nearly fatal shooting while on active duty.
This incident became an ideal storm in which he began the dependent dance with alcohol, drugs, suicidal ideations, and depression.
Now clean and sober, Kevin is a leading advocate for mental health, especially for those on the front line. Kevin is a keynote speaker and the face for the men in crisis across the east coast. Kevin is the host of the critically acclaimed podcast, The Suffering Podcast, which ranks in the top 1% globally.
