#A10StrongerTogether Discussion Series
Meeting the mental health and wellness needs of student-athletes continues to be a top priority for the Atlantic 10 Conference. In response to the rapid changes observed within the collegiate sports industry and society as a whole as a result of the COVID-19 global health crisis, the A-10's Student-Athlete Welfare Committee, a committee comprised of representatives from each member institution, is taking measures to ensure the needs of student-athletes are met during this difficult time.
These efforts include the new A-10 Stronger Together Discussion Series. Consisting of virtual presentations that focus on relevant mental health-related topics and hosted by the A-10, the Stronger Together Series will feature guided conversations from member institution healthcare providers, professionals and experts.
These presentations are open to student-athletes and staff from A-10 member institutions. A video recording will be made available for anyone to watch after the presentation has been completed. These links will be provided below in the archive section.
