Mental Wealth Day - Sunday...
Duke, in partnership with The Jed Foundation (JED) and Duke University CAPS, is excited to host the first “Mental Wealth Day” for mental health awareness.
Along with the highly competitive game, “Mental Wealth Day” will feature workshops on relevant mental health topics including a mindfulness training and sharing real life stories of current and former athletes, including former collegiate and WNBA legend and JED Ambassador, Chamique Holdsclaw. Holdsclaw will participate as the pre-game keynote speaker, discussing her personal experience with mental health and her advocacy for JED.
Holdsclaw, a three-time NCAA Champion with the Tennessee women's basketball program, featured a stellar collegiate career before being selected as the No. 1 selection in the 1999 WNBA Draft by the Washington Mystics. After earning the WNBA Rookie of the Year in her first professional season, Holdsclaw went on to earn six WNBA All-Star appearances and won the gold medal at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney with the United States.
During the game, a number of videos and public service announcements from Seize The Awkward will be played. Seize The Awkward, a campaign by JED, Ad Council and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), encourages teens and young adults to “seize the awkward.”
