We R In: Bulldog Athletics Supports Student-Athlete Mental Health Week

Go Red Lands

REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands Athletics Department joins more than 210 colleges and universities nationwide with an estimated 85,000 student-athletes involved across 20+ sports and all 50 states, as supporters of Hilinski's Hope Student-Athlete Mental Health (SAMH) Week.  Beginning SAMH Week on Saturday, October 5, Bulldog Athletics is breaking down stigma, offering quality resources, and letting student-athletes know they are supported.

For the fifth year, Hilinski's Hope Foundation is curating a collective week of action focused on eliminating stigma and increasing mental health resources for universities and colleges nationwide. SAMH Week coincides with Mental Illness Awareness Week, October 6-12, culminating on World Mental Health Day on October 10.  The event started with only 16 schools and has blossomed into a significant collaboration throughout the country.
