🚨 Important Reminder 🚨
Coaches have considerable power and influence with their student-athletes, which influence can be used by coaches to encourage and support mental health treatment resulting in a positive effect on treatment outcome. #BreakTheStigma
Like most medical problems, early identification of mental health problems usually means less disruption to a student-athlete’s life, fewer severe health complications & a less complicated, quicker recovery.
