Athlete Support Summit

Free community event focused on athlete mental health awareness and connecting attendees to the MHFA training pathway.

đź“… March 8 · 1PM – 3PM   📍 Broomfield Community Center
 

The Athlete Support Summit is a one‑of‑a‑kind community event dedicated to advancing the conversation around mental health and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in the world of sports. This inspiring and interactive panel discussion brings together athletes, mental health professionals, and community leaders to promote awareness, connection, and real solutions for athlete wellbeing.

Hosted by celebrity emcee Scotty Gange (9NEWS), the summit features former NFL athlete Montee Ball, Broomfield Council Member & D1/D2 athlete parent Heidi Henkel, Colorado Spartans National Arena League team Owner, Tony Thompson, Double Board-Certified Psychiatrst Dr. Mark Allen, and Jordan Meadows, Founder & CEO of the Mental Health Alliance for Athletes, among others. Together, they’ll share powerful stories, personal experiences, and actionable insights that help reshape how we support mental health and recovery in athletics.

Attendees will enjoy engaging conversation, mocktails, a supportive networking environment, and opportunities to meet local mental health and TBI care providers, resource organizations, and wellness vendors—all committed to fostering resilience in sports at every level.
