Clinical Mental Health or Mental Performance?

Equipping Coaches To Guide Athletes Towards Quality Care

FREE WEBINAR ~ Wednesday, March 6, 2024 ~ 11:30am - 12:30pm (CST)

Coaches are on the frontlines building relationships with athletes and have a large influence on athlete well-being. Therefore, coaches should be regarded as a partner for clinical mental health and performance providers. However, coaches need to be equipped with the knowledge to better understand the roles of these providers so they can make the appropriate referrals. The purpose of this webinar is to provide coaches with these tools. Coaches attending the webinar will be able to:

Clarify the differences between clinical mental health and mental performance

Identify signs and symptoms of clinical mental health concerns vs. mental performance concerns

Recognize a crisis situation versus normal levels of stress for an athlete

Apply best practices for appropriate referral based on assessment

Discuss best practices for interdisciplinary care of an athlete to encourage thriving
