[Athletic Trainers in the Physician Practice @ATPPSociety]

Renowned orthopedic surgeon, Dr Richard Steadman, has passed away. He was not only a pioneer of sports medicine and orthopedic surgery, but he was one of the first and fiercest proponents of athletic trainers working in the physician practice setting.

AT staff at Concordia resign after coach is retained. University puts coach ahead of health and safety. https://t.co/ouJ0n3RII2

Take care of yourself friends. ❤️

Wrapping the community of #Uvalde in love as they process the tragedy that struck today. Praying for them as they navigate through today, and the days to come.

A little reminder to check in on your friends and family. Especially the “strong” ones. You never know what internal battle someone may be fighting!

[James Borchers, MD, MPH @DrJamesBorchers]

Mental Health Awareness month - a time to reflect on the mental health and wellness of those charged with the care of student athletes at all levels. We need to support our athletic healthcare professionals - especially athletic trainers. Enough talk more action needed. Period.

Life surely can be hard, but make sure you give yourself grace. There will be good days and bad days, keep plugging along. You’re doing the best you can! 💚

"It's okay to not be okay." ❤️

Softball players throughout the NCAA spoke out about mental health and shared their personal experiences.

[ATtackingMH @ATtackingMH]

Most times it’s hard to see from the outside what people may be battling with internally. It’s always a good idea to check in on your friends and family, you never know what type of internal battle they may be facing. 💚

That’s it… that’s the tweet. 💚

[ATtackingMH @ATtackingMH]

We’ve long been taught to believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness, when in reality the opposite is the truth. Admitting to struggle & seeking help when needed is a sign of strength. It’s okay to struggle & it’s even more okay to get help. #YouMatter

[Morgan's Message @MorgansMessage]

Some hard hitting facts surrounding student athlete mental health.

#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

[ATtackingMH @ATtackingMH]

While May is dedicated to bringing awareness to mental illness, those affected struggle year round. Let’s take some time this month to break the stigma, and help those who suffer daily. #YouMatter

Our next MHFA course for healthcare professionals #athletictraining #at4all #athletementalhealth

[ATtackingMH @ATtackingMH]

You don’t have to be strong all the time. Talk to people and let them know what you’re going though. You’re loved and cared for. #YouMatter

[ATtackingMH @ATtackingMH]

Someone needs to read this. Maybe you’re a coach, an AT, an educator, or even a student athlete. The person should come first, always. We need to set aside the student and athlete identity and take care of the person underneath. Without “the person” we have nothing. #YouMatter 🤍
