....We know of too many student-athletes who suffer from overload:
over-packed schedules, over-burdening expectations, and tragically,
coaches who do not always understand how to handle subsequent situations
of poor mental health....
....Since 2005, four Penn student-athletes have died by suicide. Countless
more have ended their athletic commitments after suffering from mental
health issues or injuries.....
....The addition of Dr. Wieland will be instrumental to consolidating the
responsibility and accountability for the well-being of
student-athletes. Wieland brings to Penn a wealth of experience in
mental health treatment and preparation......
...moreBethany`s Notes: More need are being met by making the mental health of student athletes a priority. I am encouraged that more institutions are getting on board and providing outlets for students.
