Please join Sports and Society's Intersectionality of Change movement and Life Over Logo for a town hall event to address social media and the mental health concerns it often prompts in student-athletes.
"Intersectionality of Change: Life Over Logo" will bring together organizers of this new initiative, with student-athletes and mental health professionals to address how social media criticism and hate impact student-athletes, and how messaging can be shifted to support the humans who wear the uniforms, over the game they play.
Guests will include:
- Mothers of football players from Ohio State and beyond
- Counseling psychologists from the Wexner Medical Center who work with student-athletes
- Social media experts
The event will include an introduction of the initiative, small-group discussions around the issue and how it can best be addressed and solved, and an agreement of action items.
A post-event lunch will be served.
