After this session, attendees should be able to:

  1. Identify the gap between athletics and mental health services.
  2. List at least two different ways that mental health and athletics can partner.
  3. Differentiate between traditional partnerships and this comprehensive model of student-athlete wellness.

Program Abstract:
Nationally, there has been a movement to provide more mental health support for student-athletes. Counseling and Psychological Services and the Athletic Training Staff at California State University, Fullerton have partnered to create a Student-Athlete Wellness Model. This model combines student health services and the athletics department to create a network of support around student-athletes to help them flourish. This presentation will share our comprehensive model and offer insights that we have gained over the years.
