Welcome back to another episode of The Prevention Platform! In this month's episode, Ashley sits down with Tina George from Carin Treatment Centers to explore the critical intersection of student athletes, substance use and overall wellness. With the pressures of performance, stress, and the desire for recovery, many young athletes face unique challenges in maintaining their health and well-being. Join us as we discuss prevention strategies, the importance of mental and physical wellness, and how to support student athletes in making healthy choices on and off the field.
