In support of three of our Delaware State University Student Athlete Development partners (Athlete Talk, PA4WN Lab, and ABIS) who are collaborating with four other organizations, Hornet Athletics is participating in College Basketball Mental Health Week(#Marchintomentalhealth).
#Marchintomentalhealth is a one-week "event" to highlight mental health and wellness at all levels of women's and men's college basketball. The goal of this effort is twofold - first to highlight the unique mental health issues pertinent to men's and women's college basketball and secondly to encourage college basketball coaches and their teams to engage in mental health check-ins as we approach the end of the season and conference tournaments. Beginning on February 27th 2023 these seven national organizations will produce:
Three daily mental health & wellness messages via Twitter, Instagram, and Linkedin.
??Two podcasts on Sleep & Rest and Name, Image & Likeness & Financial Health.
??Webinar: "Navigating the Transitions in College Basketball: Athlete Mental Health and
Economic Opportunities Wednesday, March 1, at 7 pm EST via zoom. Beyond the perceptions of NIL are some harsh realities and uncertainties student-athletes, coaches, administrators, and families are navigating. This 60-minute webinar will present the impacts of the Division I Transformation Committee Report, a panel discussion between key stakeholders in collegiate athletics on the mental health toll of transitions, and recommendations for achieving holistic mental health responses to the pressures of this new era of sports.
Delaware State Athletics supports this initiative by conducting a mental health check-in with our teams, video tape a portion (nothing too private of course), and post a highlight of the team mental health check-in on social media with the hashtag #marchintomentalhealth. Head coaches can also conduct a mental health check-in with their assistant coaches.
