Assistant Equipment Room Manager Mark Weatherup Jr. and Athletic Trainer Roy Flores sit down for a conversation around mental health with women’s soccer sophomore Kelli Keady. The trio discuss what are some of the most difficult things first-year and sophomore students must adjust to during the early stages of their undergraduate career, small intricacies that are sometimes overlooked in one’s college experience (such as “offboarding”), and the different types of help that support staff can offer. They then delve into some of the resources that the Department of Athletics, Intramurals and Recreation offer. These include New York University’s Student Health Center - more specifically the mention of Yatrika Bir - a clinical social worker who is made available to those in Athletics that are seeking an outlet to speak with, and the Wellness Exchange 24/7 Hotline which can be reached at 212-443-9999.
