MSU SAAC Mental Health Awareness Week

Help Minnesota State Athletics support Project for Teens during their Mental Health Awareness Week! Project for Teens encourages healthy and responsible decision making by youth through peer to peer education in five Greater Mankato area schools. Approximately 180 high school students from these schools become peer leaders who are trained on topics such as healthy relationships, drugs/alcohol, vaping, bullying, social media, and physical and mental health. These peer leaders then serve as dynamic and positive role models for nearly 4,200 middle school student by promoting healthy decision making through small group discussions, skits, role-playing, and more.
