Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay, an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. As the world comes together for mental health support, here are some actions you can take today,
- Express Gratitude: Gratitude can increase psychological wellbeing and improve self-esteem.
- Prioritize Peacefulness: What do you need to experience moments of peace today? Whether it’s a break from screens, a nap, a workout class, or a healthy meal, make time for what your body needs!
- Be A Source Of Support: Take time to ask a friend how they’re doing, know where the resources are on campus, and let your team know you believe their #MentalHealthMatters ❤️❤️❤️
Sports are more than physical, which is why we believe mental health is a crucial part of being a successful student athlete. This Student Athlete Mental Health Week, we further the mission to make mental health a priority on 200+ campuses — because every single athlete’s #MentalHealthMatters. To those who may be struggling, #YouAreNotAlone. ❤️❤️❤️
Tomorrow we kick off our fifth Student Athlete Mental Health Week with 209 colleges and universities (252 including clubs and high schools) participating!
Because of our Tyler, the Hilinski’s Hope journey started in football. We’ve been honored to watch all of our participating schools, families, friends, and communities make this week into something so much greater.
This week has grown over the past five years to include all sports— and will impact an estimated 85,000 student athletes involved across 20+ sports and all 50 states.
Hundreds of schools are offering resources to student athletes, holding discussions on mental health, and furthering a culture of vulnerability and community where their #MentalHealthMatters.
While we might take opposing sides on the field, this week all of us will stand together. This week we state a unified message to our student athletes across the nation — #YouAreNotAlone.
It was a joy to celebrate our history this past week, and to have @nickimoore’s role as a trailblazer honored in the way she deserved!
