Eric Daddario

Youth Mental Health Speaker

Eric is a former Division 1 hockey player at Clarkson University who speaks to middle school,high school,and college students and student-athletes about making healthy life decisions when struggling with pain and adversity such as anxiety and depression.

Eric started devoting his life to helping youth after witnessing many friends make poor choices, including using drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, one of these people was his brother, who eventually died of a drug overdose. Yet, Eric was determined to make good choices.

Now, through his presentations, he helps youth make healthy life decisions so they, too, can enjoy greater success today and throughout their lives. Eric has been invited to speak on multiple podcasts and has started his own Youtube channel, providing young people with tips to make better decisions in life’s most challenging moments.

Eric was interviewed by the congressional candidate Caroline Colarusso about the tragic story of his brother, how it affected his family, and the life mission he has set to help the youth.

Eric has partnered with the Herren Project to connect with more students and expand his outreach. The Herren Project’s mission is to empower, inspire, and support youth affected by substance misuse and promote healthy lifestyle choices.

Coming from the heart and personal experience, Eric’s talks resonate with students and moves them to take action to live a much happier, healthier life
