Continuing the growing national conversation surrounding mental health in high-performing student-athletes, the LMU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), headed by SAAC President Keara Reilly, created a #HearUsRoar mental health awareness video.

Directed by LMU student athletes, Hear Us Roar is a campaign to promote discourse concerning the mental health and wellness of student athletes. Students nationwide are negatively affected by the stigma that it is not normal to have internal struggles. The campaign is aimed at promoting a movement to break the stigma and to promote discourse on and off the bluff.

The video comes on the heels of the successful "Break the Stigma" video campaign kickstarted by the Division I National SAAC last spring. The campaign is targeted at promoting mental health awareness and breaking stigmas surrounding mental health amongst student-athletes. Over the past few years, mental health has become a major topic in the NCAA given an increase in tragedies related to mental health struggles. SAAC's "Break the Stigma" campaign aimed to change the cultural understanding of mental health by changing the conversation.
