Our Story
It all started with a conversation.
Jordan Missig began talking with his parents about a friend who had opened up to him about his mental health struggles with ADHD. This friend told Jordan that he was not diagnosed with a mental health condition, but he struggled with learning and did not know or want to admit that he had a problem and seek help. This embarrassment of admitting he might have a mental health issue, made continuing with college very difficult, so he dropped out. This led to discussion about the stigma issues surrounding mental health and how unfortunate it was that anyone would feel too ashamed to seek treatment and support.
Jordan, who had been diagnosed with ADHD as a child, realized that had he not had supportive parents who sought out treatment and encouraged him along the way, that the course of his future might have been drastically changed. Instead, Jordan received treatment and support from his parents and teachers at an early age learning tools to help him cope with his ADHD at home and at school.
It was through this conversation that the idea of creating an awareness campaign using Jordan’s platform was born. As a professional race car driver, Jordan understood that the need for working on one’s own mental health was just as important as working on one’s physical health — especially in the world of professional sports. Through nothing more than just talking about it, mental health became Jordan’s next passion.
And so, Racing For Mental Health was founded.
