Suffolk high schools are adopting a game plan for student-athlete mental health. More than 1,600 student-athletes from 18 schools braved the heavy rain and attended the kickoff event of the Ambassadors of Compassion program at East Islip High School Friday afternoon. The Ambassadors of Compassion program equips high school students with the critical skills necessary to navigate life's challenges and teaches emotional resilience, forgiveness and perseverance. The three-hour event was held on the school's football field and featured guest speakers including WFAN's Gregg 'Gio' Giannotti, actor Noel G and former Sayville, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame quarterback Jack Coan.
