Over the last two decades, he has appeared in hundreds of television, radio, print, and online features about mental health. His bylines include CNN, CNBC, USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, and many others.
PEOPLE Magazine called Mark “one of Canada’s most prominent mental health advocates”. He's previously served on the board of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, and as the youngest ever president of a Canadian Mental Health Association division.
