This wouldn’t be just a regular game; it was a powerful push to raise awareness about mental health struggles that many young athletes face. Coach Taelynn Gittin led this initiative, emphasizing the paramount importance of mental health. Athletes, fans, and staff rallied together, proudly wearing shirts proclaiming, “Mental Health Matters.” The event’s message was crystal clear: mental health is just as important as physical health, and talking about it is step one toward healing. Teaming up with Prairie Care, the event also served to highlight the pressures that students endure. As many as 44% of Minnesota students in grades 8, 9, and 11 reported experiencing mental distress, according to the 2022 Student Survey. Sharing personal experiences created a genuine connection, aiming to inspire attendees to be a force of support for their peers. With mental health issues being a pressing concern today, it’s inspiring to see such initiatives making waves in communities. Remember, if you or someone you know needs help, there are resources available, including the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (text or call 988) and NAMI. Together, we can create a supportive network for everyone.
