In this episode we talk about Meghan has been up to and we getting into the depths of what she has been working on helping out with mental health in athletics. Meghan talks about the mental health screening that she developed in her graduate work (linked on the show page) and how she has worked to set up resources for people that may test high on that screen. Mental health will continue to become a much bigger discussion in athletics and this is a great episode to find some resources to help you address the need in your setting.
