TicketsCINCINNATI – Next week the University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics and its Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) will celebrate Pow6rful Minds week, helping to create awareness around mental health issues faced by student-athletes.
Throughout the week, SAAC will put on several events, engage in a social media campaign, and the football team will wear green ribbons on its helmets during the Oct. 8 game against Temple.
"The goal of the Pow6rful Minds Campaign is to bring awareness to mental health. By removing the stigma, recognizing the signs, and providing resources surrounding mental health, we can create a safe place in which our student-athletes can succeed in mind and body." Erin Evans, SAAC President said. "Mental health is as important as physical health, and our goal is for each student-athlete to achieve personal success building powerful, healthy minds."
The American and UC's SAAC have helped create awareness to mental health issues and the resources available for student-athletes through the Pow6rful Minds initiative. The goal of Pow6rful Minds, and a top priority for SAAC, has been to end the stigma related to seeking help and promoting academic and personal success through a healthy, powerful mind.
