Young adult mental health is a rising concern—and athletes are no different. The pressures many student athletes feel, whether self-imposed, put on by others, or both, are higher than average, and can contribute to rapid declines in mental health.

Depression, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts, and substance misuse are just some of the obstacles that student athletes may face when trying to offset the stressors of growing up coupled with the obligations of being a student athlete.

Cali Werner, LCSW, shares ways to spot signs and symptoms of mental health challenges in athletes, discusses how we can talk to our kids about mental health, and answers questions about how we can all work toward lessening the pressures student athletes feel from all angles.
