“When you shove [emotions] away, I’ve found that they come back even harder and stronger.” Michael Phelps—one of the most accomplished athletes of all time—speaks about his mental health journey in a heartfelt interview with his wife, Nicole Phelps, Special Olympics Arizona athlete Ronny Jones, and #SpecialOlympics Chairman Timothy Shriver. This #WorldMentalHealth day, take a moment to check in with your loved ones and open up about how you’re feeling. As Michael and Nicole Phelps demonstrate, none of us are alone. ❤️ Catch the full candid conversation: https://brnw.ch/21wNEzZ.

Inclusion drives innovation, sparks creativity and optimizes success. Research has proven when companies foster inclusivity, innovation rates increase significantly, as does revenue. By embracing this positive effect, you will create an environment where everyone belongs and has a voice. Unlock a wealth of creative potential by hiring based on strengths!

Congratulations to our Director Keivan Stassun on this incredible achievement! If it wasn't for Keivan, the Frist Center for Autism and Innovation would never have been realized. As Keivan states in this video, our Neurodiversity Inspired Science and Engineering Program has now graduated more autistic PhD and Masters' students than any other program in the world (to our knowledge). Our comms coordinator (Jessica Schonhut-Stasik) has also just finished rebranding our website to align with our 5 year strategic plan.

We're thrilled to share that Special Olympics France athlete Fanélie Croizat was one of twelve #SpecialOlympics athletes chosen to carry the International Olympic Committee – IOC Flame as part of the Torch Relay, thanks to our amazing partner, The Coca-Cola Company! 🏅🔥 Fanélie beautifully sums up the power of sports: “Sports bring people together. When I was in Berlin, I was able to connect with friends, but also other athletes from around the world in different sports through things like pin trading. Sports help with making sure no one is ever alone.” 🌍🤝 Fanélie's story is a shining example of how sports foster connection, inclusion, and community. Let’s celebrate her journey and the incredible spirit of Special Olympics! 💪💖 https://brnw.ch/21wMcLR #SpecialOlympics #InclusionRevolution #ChooseToInclude Special Olympics Europe Eurasia
