ATLANTA, GA – In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) will host a virtual mental health summit that will bring together student-athletes to learn about and explore mental health and its effects.

The first segment of the summit will be hosted by Eric Kussin, founder of the #SameHere Movement. JK Willis and Stevie Pettus, co-founders of Let’s Talk About Mental Health (LTMH), will host the second segment.

“The health and wellness of our student-athletes remains a paramount concern of all SIAC stakeholders,” said Commissioner Greg Moore. “In light of this fact and in an effort to help mitigate the mental health impacts of related to this current crisis, we are extremely thankful to partner with the #SameHere Movement and Let’s Talk About Mental Health to facilitate a constructive discussion and provide students with useful tools and approaches to help support them during this difficult time.”
