A former professional football player whose career spanned 10 years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Randy Grimes spent 20+ years battling an addiction to pain killers developed while treating career- related injuries. He now uses his inspiring story of recovery and his 12+ years in the addictions industry to help victims of drug and alcohol abuse, as an Interventionist and the founding advocate at Pro Athletes In Recovery.
In 2012, Randy launched “Pro Athletes in Recovery,” a program designed to help athletes of all levels and anyone else find treatment for addiction and mental health while offering continued support for those already in recovery. Due to the success of Pro Athletes in Recovery, Randy has partnered with the NFL, NHL, Gridiron Greats, After The Impact Fund, MLB, Baseball Assistance Fund, The Jockeys Guild, MMA, PGA, LPGA, NBA, Motorsports Safety Group, Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, and a host of collegiate programs to bring further awareness and treatment services to professional and collegiate athletes and their families. As a result, 100’s of former professional and collegiate athletes, as well as 100’s of non athletes have since been treated. Randy’s passion does not end with athletes; he is committed to helping all families find balance and peace of mind. Randy believes that “when families get well, addicts get well.” Randy has performed countless interventions across the U.S. and in five countries—bringing hope and healing when all seemed lost.
Randy has been an exemplary ambassador and example of the power of professional treatment. Married for 41 years to his college sweetheart, Lydia, who is also a Certified Family Addiction Coach, they have two children and four grandchildren. Randy is regularly a commentator on numerous national TV networks and media including NFL Network, Anderson Cooper, Father Albert, CNN, Fox Sports, MSNBC, Fox News, SiriusXM Sports, New York Times, New York Daily News, Sports Illustrated and countless others. He has also authored a book titled “Off Center”. A memoir of his career and addiction journey. His “Never Give Up” attitude translates from the gridiron to recovery. On his recovery, Randy states: “God didn’t open the gates of heaven and let me in....He opened the gates of hell and let me out!”

Michael Parker is a Marine Corps veteran, turned cowboy, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate. After leaving the Marines, Michael struggled with his mental health, leading to incarceration and multiple suicide attempts. Driven by a desire to understand his mental health and take back the reins in his life, he started searching for alternative ways to heal, besides medication. He discovered his healing through nature and horses. The same selflessness that led him to enlist fueled him to help others gain a "second chance" in their lives. In 2019, Michael set out on his journey to bring his dream to life, creating Second Chance Rehabilitation Ranch. Michael is also the host of Second Chance Podcast where he interviews veterans, first responders, and mental health advocates, sharing their stories to help listeners find hope and a fulfilled life on the other side of mistakes and trauma.

First Responders face a unique set of challenges on a daily basis. Andrew Douglas knows this firsthand as his personal trauma coupled with the daily traumas of being a firefighter led him to a suicide attempt. Instead of walking away, he has decided to help his "brothers and sisters" face their pain and heal.
In His Own Words:
After dedicating years of my life to serving my community as a firefighter/paramedic and union leader, I experienced the personal struggle of dealing with PTSD. Recognizing the importance of mental health support, I co-founded siento, a stigma-free mobile application platform designed to help first responders and professionals in high-stress industries.

At siento, our mission is to provide a safe and anonymous space for people to share their feelings, connect with others who understand their challenges, and access the mental health assistance they need. We believe that by fostering an environment of understanding and compassion, we can make a positive impact on the lives of those who serve our communities and work under immense pressure.

As a passionate advocate for mental health, I am committed to raising awareness about the importance of mental well-being, and to breaking down barriers that prevent people from seeking the help they need. Let's work together to support and uplift those who dedicate their lives to helping others.

July Is BIPOC Mental Health Month and Youturn Health wants to recognize mental health advocate Dejr Bostick and highlight the incredible work he is doing.

According to Black Health Matters, "Depression among Black men is an oft-unspoken pain that deeply affects the health and quality of life of Black people. In fact, the most current review of evidence on Black men and depression suggests a prevalence of five percent to 10 percent. This figure may be much larger, as depression is commonly underdiagnosed. Even more, the failure to adequately address the roots of Black male depression is undermining our communities and keeping us blind to the deep harm of historical and structural racism.

Dejr Bostick is on a mission to reduce stigma and encourage black men to take care of their mental health through an organization he founded called Black Men Meditate.


Dejr Bostick, born in Miami, Florida, is a college-educated Marine veteran and one of nine children. Known as the "human spirit whisperer," he has devoted 15 years to understanding human behavior and the impact of meditation and mindfulness on personal transformation. In 2018, Bostick founded Black Men Meditate to provide a safe space for men of color facing stress, anxiety, systemic racism, and societal biases. He is also a recognized financial leader with over 15 years of experience in financial management and consultation. Bostick believes that success in both business and life can be achieved through a focused and attentive mind, which he has achieved through his practice of meditation and mindfulness. He has worked with educational institutions to create mindfulness programs and has spoken at events such as the Clemson University National Men of Color Summit, the Global Society of Engineers, and education centers. He currently runs transformation programs for black male professionals.

Greg Williams blew the lid off of anonymity with his ground-breaking film The Anonymous People. Join youlearnyouturn as we discuss the need for the recovery community to level up even more, in the face of unprecedented substance use and mental health crisis.
