PHILADELPHIA – In coordination with the American Athletic Conference Student Athlete Advisory Committee's Pow6rful Minds campaign, Temple is set to host two mental health awareness games this weekend. The women's basketball game on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 2 p.m. will serve as the first game in light of mental health followed by the men's basketball game on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 3 p.m.
Along with men's and women's basketball, many other programs across Temple Athletics have spotlighted mental health awareness, hosting their own mental health awareness games during their respective seasons.
This is the fifth year of the initiative, which focuses on creating awareness around mental health issues as well as guiding student-athletes in the direction of proper resources.
