Episode Description

May is Mental Health Month and the guys chat about ways they're taking care of their mental health. During the Sports Minute, they give U-M athletics a shoutout, which then transitions into an athlete mental health awareness acknowledgement (9:20). Jeremy and Will are then joined by Mark Collins (15:49) of South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Mark connected with the U-M Peer-to-Peer program and brought that programming to Rhode Island schools in order to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage help-seeking behavior. This was done as part of the Chris Collins Foundation, which is named in memory of his son who died by suicide, and the positive impact the Collins Family has tried to impart on their greater community.
