...."Everyone knows how to contact me and when players need me they reach out,” Guerin told RealClearLife. “If
they have a question or just want to shoot the breeze they know they
can grab me in the cafeteria or the hallway, whenever they have time
because their schedules are so rigid. That’s the benefit of having
someone that is accessible full-time. If there is a need, they don’t
have to wait for someone outside the organization to come in. They can
just grab me and tell me what’s going on. It’s very easy for me to have a
conversation with them.”....

every day who is a part of football operations is a huge first step in
getting past the shame or stigma of mental health problems,” Guerin
said. “That’s a huge first step. The other part is them just getting
comfortable with who I am and knowing I’m not here to judge them and
instead am here as pro-active support. Stigma is something that goes
away with time. It’s not something that’s going to be brushed away in a
couple weeks.”.....
