Eric HippleAfter dealing with depression of his own following his son's suicide, former Detroit Lions quarterback Eric Hipple is now dedicated to speaking to others about depression, an illness he says, "No one likes to talk about." Hipple's presentation will deliver more than an anti-suicide message. He hopes to help his audience better understand depression and suicide and how to help prevent future tragedies.
