NCAA Sport Science Institute Announces Online Mental Health Education Modules

The NCAA Sport Science Institute announces the release of online Mental Health Education Modules to its member institutions and conference offices.  

Student-athletes, coaches and faculty athletics representatives play a critical role in creating an environment that supports the mental health and well-being of college athletes. That's why the SSI developed web-based educational modules with these constituent groups in mind, to help normalize and destigmatize mental health help seeking for college athletes. These modules complement the education recommendations identified in the interassociation Mental Health Best Practices document. 

Recipients of this memo are encouraged to share this resource with colleagues, SAAC representatives and coaching staff members on their campus so that all of the core constituent groups noted above may complete these important educational modules.
