About the Screening Series
College athletics can be an extraordinary source of purpose, community, and achievement. It can also come with intense pressure.
Student-athletes are balancing academics, competition, relationships, identity, and their futures, often while navigating injury, performance expectations, and uncertainty about what comes next. In a culture built around toughness, it can be difficult to acknowledge when something is wrong or ask for help.
That is why universities are such important settings for these conversations.
Campuses bring together student-athletes, coaches, athletic departments, mental health professionals, faculty, families, and peers at a time when attitudes around mental health are still taking shape. By experiencing the film together, these communities can make conversations about mental health more visible, more normal, and easier to begin.
Through candid storytelling, the Screening Series invites audiences to look beyond performance and recognize the whole person behind the athlete. Our goal is not simply to screen a film, but to create conversations that continue after the credits roll and remind student-athletes that strength includes speaking honestly, supporting one another, and knowing when to seek help.
