Wednesday, July 19 was dedicated as a day to address the stigma of mental health that surrounds sports. Speak Up at USA CUP recognizes that many athletes don’t talk about their mental health, but our goal is to create a supportive community to make topics like this easier to discuss.
Speak Up included an all-day appearance from the U.S. Center of Mental Health & Sport, many mental health advocacy groups, the Speak Up Street Team, and posts on social media in support of breaking the stigma.
Thank you to everyone who participated by wearing green and speaking up for mental health!
