Go to siteTending The Fires
The society we live in has taught us that we are expected to suffer our burdens alone; that if we cannot “get over it,” or “pull ourselves up by our bootstraps,” that something is inherently wrong with us. This is a dis-eased way of living. This feeling of being alone is at the heart of the afflictions that destroy the world, one person at a time. It is responsible for the rapidly rising rates of depression, violence, addiction, and suicide. We are social beings that need a healthy, supportive community to grow, heal, and thrive.

Go to siteStudent Athlete Mental Health Resources
Student athletes have to balance a lot, from their academics to their competitive nature to pressure from coaches and parents. As a result of these stresses, the mental health of many student athletes suffers. Whether it is a youth athlete with aspirations of playing at a higher level or an athlete already playing at the collegiate level, mental health concerns longevity in the sport and overall health and well-being. 1 in 5 people report mental health concerns in the general public, and research from the NCAA shows that the athlete population follows the same trend as the general public. Still, only 43% of student athletes report they feel comfortable going to a coach with their mental health concerns.
This resource looks at the science behind student athlete mental health, some solutions, and suggestions for the students, their coaches, and their parents. Here, you’ll find a comprehensive collection of podcasts, books, articles, organizations, videos, and more to help students excel in their athletic pursuits and mental health.
