The Mid-American Conference is hosting a Mental Health Summit alongside the NCAA on Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio.
The event features multiple guest speakers, including University Hopsitals' Dr. Franciose Adan, the Chief Medical Officer for the NCAA Dr. Brian Hainline and MAC Commissioner Dr. Jon Steinbrecher.
These speakers will discuss multiple topics of mental health, including identifying problems, discussing solutions and highlighting best practices on membership campuses. The Summit also falls on MAC Mental Health Awareness Week.
“The well-being of our students is a major focus by MAC membership, and central to this issue is mental health awareness and the varying issues related to this complex issue,” Steinbrecher said in a release Monday.
