Ncaa Disk

NCAA Student-Athletes on Wednesday published an open letter on the mental health crisis and what the association is doing to help. The full letter can be viewed below: 

The state of urgency surrounding mental health concerns for student-athletes is palpable on campuses across the country and backed by association-wide data: The NCAA Student-Athlete Well-Being Survey showed rates of mental exhaustion, anxiety and feeling depressed were comparable in fall 2021 to the beginning of the pandemic. Mental health struggles can occur with a wide range of severity, depending on the impacted individual. While an individual's mental health status is personal, treatment and support are a community effort. As such, it's encouraging that there has been an increase in support from student-athletes, administrators and athletics staff in breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and dedicating effort to improve support systems.
