While Doore and Fletcher overcame their struggles, they wish they didn’t spend their youth with the “cowboys don’t cry” mindset, as Doore called it. In hindsight, they wouldn’t have waited until last year’s ceremony to open up about their demons.

Doore implores any young person battling mental health issues to reach out to somebody, whether it’s a loved one, a stranger or the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

"Don’t quit," Doore said, adding. “We all face some sort of demon. Good people face tough situations. ... How you deal with them (reveals) that character, and sometimes you can't do it alone. That's really why I think the Speak Up symposium helps us.”
