Mental health is something many people struggle with worldwide, and former WWE star Adam Scherr (FKA Braun Strowman) aims to do something to help with a new venture he’s working on.
Adam Scherr recently spoke with SI Detroit at Motor City Comic Con and revealed that he’d be releasing a mental health app ‘Diskuss’, which will allow users to reach out to mental health experts at the click of a button 24-hours a day, 7-days a week.
“I’ve been working on a mental health app that I have coming out called “Diskuss.” One of my business partners, John Paul DeJoria, who is one of the founders of Paul Mitchell and used to own Patron, he’s one of the backers of it. It’s something that is very, very important to me that will be launching very, very soon. It’s an app subscription on your phone that gives you licensed, certified mental health professionals in the palm of your hand. You can FaceTime, you can phone call, you can text message for those days when you don’t have someone to reach out to. When you’re having a bad day, you’re on the ledge and you need somebody to talk to. It gives people an opportunity to have someone to talk to so they don’t do the irrational things. It’s such a stigma in the world. I think with everything that’s happened with the pandemic, it’s opened a lot of people’s eyes to being more observant about mental health and caring more about it. I had an unbelievable opportunity with WWE, and to be able to now have this platform and this voice to be able to help other people around the world is very near and dear to me. And, that’s one of the things I’m working on, first and foremost, the most right now before I decide who, where, what or when I put my wrestling boots back on.”
Scherr would also touch on several other topics during the interview, including him mentioning that he’s been in talks with other wrestling promotions about finding his next home.
PWInsider.com recently reported Scherr met with Impact Wrestling executive Scott D’Amore while he was in Michigan for Motor City Comic Con. Scherr didn’t directly address any negotiations he might have had, but said it’s about trying to find the best fit now and wants somewhere he can show up and entertain while still working on side projects.
