SAMHI: Student- Athlete Mental Health Initiative samhiexcaliburct "Many post-secondary students will face a mental health challenge. This can interrupt their studies, affect academic performance and impact their day-to-day lives.
Post-secondary athletes can face similar challenges with added pressures of being both a student and an athlete. They must perform in school and sport, handle finances, plan for the future, and stay connected to friends and family.
Often they struggle to get help because of the stigma surrounding mental health and illness in sports. The expectation to be mentally tough keeps many student-athletes silent and isolated.
SAMHI works to educate Canadians about the vulnerabilities of student-athletes. We aim promote the mental well-being of all student-athletes. And we work to support those struggling with a mental health concern or illness." Fellow Excalibur's and members of the community join The Huddle and share your journey.
