Walter Bailey, PSSII, CADCI, QMHA, CRM

Walter Bailey was a football star at Benson High School and the University of Washington. He had dreams of a successful NFL career. After winning 2 Rose bowls and tie for a third, Walter found himself in free fall from the top of his Football career to a crash landing into addiction to drugs and alcohol thatnleft him with nothing.

Walter entered De Paul’s residential treatment program where he got help that changed his life forever.

Walter has built a wonderful life in recovery and has dedicated his career to helping and supporting others. Walter began his career in the recovery community at De Paul as a residential and addictions counselor. He has navigated a very successful career in the behavioral health field for the last 10 years. Walter now works for OHA and helps and supports communities that have been historically marginalized.

Most recently Walter founded Dynamic Athlete Solutions, an organization dedicated to providing comprehensive, culturally-responsive educational platform focused on youth student athletes, coaches, academic administration addressing mental health, substance use and equity.

After conquering all the mental health challenges that led him to his rock bottom, Walter has made his life’s purpose to help student athletes, coaches and their networks find the resources and support to navigate the many barriers they face towards mental wellness.

Our conversation inspires me to be faithful in the life of recovery. Like Walter, my life transformed from a path of destruction to one of contribution and purpose...so can yours.

Peace & Love,

Greg
