Coaches are on the frontlines building relationships with athletes and have a large influence on athlete well-being. Therefore, coaches should be regarded as a partner for clinical mental health and performance providers. However, coaches need to be equipped with the knowledge to better understand the roles of these providers so they can make the appropriate referrals. The purpose of this webinar is to provide coaches with these tools. Coaches attending the webinar will be able to:
Clarify the differences between clinical mental health and mental performance
Identify signs and symptoms of clinical mental health concerns vs. mental performance concerns
Recognize a crisis situation versus normal levels of stress for an athlete
Apply best practices for appropriate referral based on assessment
Discuss best practices for interdisciplinary care of an athlete to encourage thriving
