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:

• Anxiety and depression
• Masculinity
• Body image and self-esteem
• Athlete burnout
• “More than an athlete” (unraveling identity from sport)
• Methods of self-care
• Caring for teammates who have experienced trauma/mental health, and
• Healing and growing from your past

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.

Faculty: Please let your student-athletes know about this session.

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.
