About the MJRF Champs Program
The MJRF Mental Health Champions are funded positions which lead impactful programming aimed at supporting High School student-athletes’ social and emotional mental health. The program is thriving at Skyline and Pioneer High Schools in Ann Arbor, with remarkable growth and demand. We’re thrilled to expand to Ann Arbor Huron High School in the fall of 2025. Our presentations consist of mental health components regarding empowerment towards education around basic mental health skill sets and suicide prevention. Programs are developed with support from the Miles Jeffrey Roberts Foundation and leading health care professionals within Skyline High School/Ann Arbor Public Schools, UM Depression Center, Washtenaw County Community Mental Health (WCCMH), Washtenaw Intermediate School District, and any additional community resources that are interested in engaging with MJRF on this initiative. Programs are implemented through various platforms in partnership with student-athletes, coaches, school administration and families.
