BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – On Wednesday night, the Indiana University Excellence Academy and the We're All A Little Crazy (WAALC) Global Mental Health Alliance (501c3) teamed up for a #SameHere Sit-Down. Indiana, chosen from a pool of 50 applicants, is one of 15 colleges and universities to host the 2018 national event tour.
Each event features opportunities for candid and revealing conversations with highly accomplished athletes, musicians, artists and members of the news media. Indiana's panel consisted of Derek Anderson, Jackson, Bertoli, Dr. Chelsi Day, Eric Kussin, and emcee Scott Agness.
Indiana student-athletes heard firsthand about the mental and emotional challenges panelists have encountered in their pursuit of excellence, along with a range of coping strategies they have developed in response.
