Over 150 people representing NCAA member institutions, senior administrators, health professionals and student/athletes will converge on Cleveland on Tuesday, February 16, 2016 to participate in the MAC NCAA Joint Summit on Mental Health. The event is a first-of-its-kind evaluation of mental health issues affecting student/athletes. The MAC and the NCAA Sports Sciences Institute will act as co-hosts.
The Joint Summit has its genesis in an initiative conceived by the MAC over three years ago in which MAC staff, faculty representatives from member institutions and student-athletes formed a task force to establish best practices and minimum standards of care.
