MILWAUKEE – In conjunction with World Mental Health Day on October 10, the Milwaukee Athletic Department is running a series this month focusing on mental health awareness of Panther student-athletes. Each entry is shared directly in the student-athlete's own words.
 
"Mental health is important to me because my family, on my father's side, is susceptible to depression. I know what it can do to people and I've experienced it firsthand. I know friends who suffer from mental health issues including depression, and I want to be able to help make their life easier even if it's just a little bit."
