About:
The Essex Tech Girls Volleyball program recently dedicated a special home match to Mental Health Awareness, using the court as a platform to support an important conversation that reaches far beyond athletics.
The Hawks hosted Ipswich, with the JV team taking the court at 4:00 PM followed by Varsity at 5:00 PM.
By designating the matchup as a Mental Health Awareness Game, Essex Tech helped shine a light on the importance of supporting student well-being, encouraging open conversations, and reminding athletes and families that mental health matters.
Events like this demonstrate how student-athletes can use their platform to promote awareness, compassion, and a stronger sense of community.
For Essex Tech Volleyball, it was more than a game — it was an opportunity to stand together in support of mental health.
