Here. No Matter What.
1 in 3 college athletes report mental exhaustion. Athletes are 20x’s more likely to suffer and only 3 out of every 10 athletes EVER ask for help
2 million athletes supported by only 12,683 sports psychologists (1:157) = massive gap in mental health care triage capabilities and systems
There are NCAA attestation and fines for DI programs in EFFECT now

What we've heard from over 155 clinical experts...
Patient Access Representative
We need more providers who can support patient and student athletes. Case loads are heavy and it takes too much time to get them into the office to get support
Student Athlete
It’s ok to not be ok and it’s ok to ask for help. We just don't always know where to go to get help
Intake Coordinator
We need a better way to offer therapy for youth as a space to express feelings
Student Athlete
I didn’t know what mental health was. Even when the sports psychologist would speak, it was like a foreign language.
Clinical Psychologist
It's critical we can capture patient triggers for clinical conditions of anxiety, depression and stress induced by trauma
Clinician
It's difficult to do my job as I have no visibility into the reimbursement cycle by clinician
