Why it matters
Navigating the stressors of student life is difficult enough without the added responsibility of being an elite level athlete.
In fact, Movember surveyed 770 student-athletes and discovered that they are hesitant to seek mental health services, largely due to the stigma surrounding mental illness.
1 in 4 athletes have reported having elevated anxiety symptoms, and 1 in 5 reported feeling elevated symptoms of depression.
MindMoves aims to help students build resilience, manage stress, and improve their overall mental wellbeing, without breaking a sweat.
