From February 11thto the 15th, the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) on each campus has developed programing for Mental Health Awareness Week.
This is the fifth year the conference’s member institutions have taken a week to bring education and awareness of mental health among student athletes and destigmatize the culture around a holistic well-being.
For 2019, the MAC Council of Student-Athletes (CoSA) designated ‘Acceptance and Ownership’ as the week’s theme with a focus on self-harm and suicide prevention.
