Around the Pac-12: Mental Health Awareness Week
Pac-12 universities along with the Conference's Student-Athlete Health & Well-Being Initiative (Pac-12 SAHWBI) worked together to bring mental health awareness week (Oct. 3-9) to campuses and student-athletes. All across the Conference, universities worked to help break through the stigma by sharing their support for promoting mental health awareness.

Taking care of mental health is just as important as physical health.

Pac-12 Mental Health Week was created to break the stigma of mental health and provide resources for student-athletes.
This week and every week, we stand alongside our student-athletes and encourage them to prioritize their mental health.#PacHasYourBack pic.twitter.com/svL5JwjrFT
