Community
Speak Up at Target USA CUP has invited local mental health organizations to take part in our initiative. Be prepared to see lots of other organizations doing their part in showing support of mental wellness in athletes. Find these organizations in front of the SuperStore on July 17th!
Why Speak Up?
In the U.S., 1 in 5 adults, 1 in 6 youth aged 6-17, and 1 in 3 young adults aged 18-25 experience a mental illness each year.
50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, 75% by age 24.
the average delay between onset of mental illness symptoms and treatment is 11 years.
Target USA CUP will be combining awareness, education, and our community, to create an overall perception that it is ok to not be ok. It is our goal to end the stigma of athletes being too tough to talk about their mental health.
Speak Up to your parents, Speak Up to your teammates, Speak Up to your coaches, and Speak Up at Target USA CUP.
You are not alone.
