Killian Chambers spent time with Philadelphia’s Department of Public Health over the holidays. In conjunction with the department, Chambers has helped promote the importance of mental health and the resources that are available to help people. Chambers champions having an open attitude towards mental health and hopes to foster a supportive community in Philadelphia. Chambers hosted a 2-hour long mental health panel where he opened up about his past personal struggles. During the panel, he talked about the death of his mother when he was in high school. He discussed how he struggled a lot following his mother’s death, and how he never thought he would be where he is today. Chambers stressed the importance of seeking help for one’s mental health struggles, saying “it’s never too late to seek help, things can get better.” Chambers is extremely grateful to be in a position where he can help others. He recognizes that some things are much more important than football and promised to continue supporting the city of Philadelphia and its residents. After hosting the open panel on mental health, Chambers also auctioned off autographs and signed memorabilia from the team. In total, this auction helped raised over $130,000 that will go towards the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Chambers also vowed to donate $10,000 for each touchdown he scores this season.
