Across the Pac-12: Teams, universities & student-athletes recognize Mental Health Awareness Month
May is Mental Health Awareness month and all across the Pac-12, teams, athletics departments, universities and student-athletes have taken to social media to join in on the conversation and promote the importance of destigmatizing the topic of mental health and for understanding available resources.
These efforts continue to raise awareness to help make a difference in our communities as it relates to #MentalHealth.
It’s Mental Health Awareness Month.
We’re proud to highlight the voices of our student-athletes and the work our schools do to help break the stigma surrounding #MentalHealth.#MentalHealthMonth | @DennisNia | @uclagymnastics pic.twitter.com/WVdmR5PxEG

May is #MentalHealth Awareness Month—time to focus on prioritizing mental health and acknowledging that it’s “OK not to be OK.”
It’s also time to stop the stigma and spread awareness on the impact of mental health illness.

Athletes who struggle with anxiety are not weak-minded. You might not even know that they are struggling internally. Mental health MATTERS and learning how to help athletes who struggle with it can help these athletes reach their full potential.
