Our Mission
Our mission is to enhance athletes’ mental health across all ages through research, policy development, education, advocacy, and resource provision.
Mental Health Importance
Mental health is crucial in athletics, as it directly impacts an athlete's performance, resilience, and overall well-being. Managing stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges enables athletes to maintain focus, enhance their decision-making abilities, and sustain peak performance levels. Additionally, prioritizing mental health fosters a supportive and inclusive sports culture, promoting long-term success and fulfillment for athletes in their sporting endeavors.
Research
The Us Too survey aims to gather insights and perspectives from the general public regarding mental health in sports. Participants are asked a series of questions related to their awareness of mental health issues in athletics, their perceptions of the importance of mental health support for athletes, and their suggestions for improving mental health resources in the sports industry. The data collected from this survey will inform NAAMH's initiatives and help shape future advocacy efforts aimed at promoting mental well-being among athletes.
