Student-Athlete Mental Health and Wellness
Academic and financial worries, health concerns, personal experiences with racism and many other factors are weighing on student-athletes throughout college sports today.
UC Athletics’ No. 1 priority is keeping our 450-plus student-athletes healthy, safe and well. Beyond ensuring that every Bearcat is physically strong and injury-free, we’re deepening our commitment to their psychological health and well-being through the newly created Student-Athlete Mental Health and Wellness Endowment Fund.
Your support for this fund will ensure that all UC student-athletes have permanent access to the care and services they need to be mentally strong, confident and resilient. The fund will provide crucial financial resources for top licensed medical professionals, dedicated counseling services and stress management coaching.
"We always want to be available to our student-athletes, and because of the Student-Athlete Mental Health and Wellness Endowment fund, we’ll have more ways to help them see their true potential. Offering support like this enables our student-athletes and their families to have hope for their present, and their future.”
