The night lands in the midst of Mental Health Awareness Week, Oct. 1-7, as SAAC seeks to improve awareness of mental health issues and resources available to student-athletes with the goal of ending the stigma related to seeking help and promoting success through a healthy, powerful mind.
Green, the color of mental health awareness nationally, will be seen by American fans during designated athletic contests throughout the school year and the Conference's #Pow6rfulMinds hashtag will be prominently used on all of its social media accounts. The initiative was started by The American SAAC in the fall 2017 with the help of each institutional SAAC.
