With less than a week left before applications close (on the 14th), hear from Justine Thomas on her experience in the Campus Captains program!! 

Justine Thomas played volleyball at Brevard College, located in the Blue Ridge Mountain Range in Western North Carolina. She became interested in mental health advocacy due to her belief that the modern athletic realm could benefit from candid conversations, highly accessible resources, and open support of student-athletes. She emphasized that too often we hear of criticisms placed upon athletes for not seeking help, and wants to encourage the questioning of the system of available resources and the ever-present stigma of mental health in the athletic world itself. 

“My favorite part of the Campus Captain program will always be the community of like-minded student-athletes. The support generated from others within the program is constant and truly genuine, whether it be when asking for advice on projects, sharing new ideas for advocacy events, or even just checking in with each other. I have developed relationships throughout all levels of the program, and they are breathtakingly refreshing in a world that typically shuns open discussion of mental health issues.”

Head to the blog to read more about Justine’s experience in the program!
