The Preface
Fall sports season is officially over at IU South Bend, and with winter sports getting into full swing, it is important to remember that our athletes are people too. The month of November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, which is a reminder to prioritize both physical and mental health. It’s also important for men to realize how their physical health and mental health may be intertwined.
IU South Bend has recently partnered with telehealth platform TimelyCare to provide enrolled students with 24-hour, free and confidential mental health resources.
U Bring Change 2 Mind, formerly known as Active Minds, is hosting their second annual Titans Talk event. This event will take place on April 19 from 6-9 p.m. in the Education and Arts Building auditorium, room 1011. Refreshments will be served.

Active Minds is a national mental health nonprofit organization that seeks to break the stigma surrounding mental health.
