As we close out the month of May and #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, we want to highlight our newest research report “Thriving Through Sport: The Transformative Impact on Girls’ Mental Health,” which examines the relationship between girls’ sport participation and mental health. According to our study…

•	Mental health disorders are 1.5-2.5X lower for girls who play sports vs. those who never played.

•	Girls who play sports report 1.5X higher levels of meaning and purpose compared to those who never played.

•	Sports provide a boost to mental health for all girls from all backgrounds across race, family income, parent education, sexual identity, and disability status.
