The NFL supports WWP through the Salute to Service initiative each year. This year-long campaign not only provides critical fuel for WWP programs that focus on mental health, it also provides opportunities for warriors to connect with their peers, communities, and NFL legends through engagement events. These life-changing opportunities provided by the NFL can be a key driver to getting warriors out of their homes and connected with WWP’s lifesaving programs.
NFL & WWP #COMBATSTIGMA AROUND MENTAL HEALTH
The NFL and Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) are teaming up to #CombatStigma around mental health. NFL player Kenny Moore and wounded warrior Nick Morrison discussed their mental health struggles and the importance of reaching out for help – this openness is key to making ourselves, our families, our friends, and our communities healthier. Together, we can #CombatStigma.
