Calling all student-athletes! Please join us as we dive deeper into topics that are very relevant to you and your mental health. We’re hosting a forum in Canyon Commons 101-103 tonight (Wednesday) from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Our hope is that this roundtable session leads to great conversation around breaking the stigma of mental health, equips you with tools to feel confident in handling a mental health crisis, and provides resources that will benefit the health and well-being of your team.
Topics include:
You can pick and choose the topics that you want to learn about. Come in, pick a table that has the topic you want, talk and listen for 15 minutes, and then head to the next table. There will be a doctoral student leading each table.

What is resilience? Psychologists define resilience as the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress, such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems, or workplace and financial stressors.
As much as resilience involves “bouncing back” from these difficult experiences, it can also involve profound personal growth. Find out here how to build your resilience, how to help others do the same, and why Denmark is believed to be the most resilient and happiest country in the world.

If you’ve ever had a concussion, please participate in this senior research study on gender disparities during concussion recovery. Participation in the study includes filling out a single survey that should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.
