Look at this beard: I'm a man! | Brian Edwards | TEDxAttica 2019
What happens when a male staffer at a maximum security prison -- Attica Correctional Facility, no less - has a panic attack at work? Will he be laughed at? Fired? Bullied by officers? Taken advantage of by inmates? Find out in this ground-breaking, courageous, and humorous talk by an Attica staffer. Brian Edwards is an academic teacher for the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision with 13 years on the job. He suffers from anxiety and depression and isn’t afraid to talk about it. Well, maybe he’s a little nervous.
