World Mental Health Day. 🌎 In a world that feels faster and louder than ever, prioritizing mental wellness is essential. The pressures our players face — on and off the field — reflect what many of us experience every day. As Mental Performance Consultant for Oakland Roots & oaklandsoulsc, and CEO & Founder of our official mental health partner athmindset.io, lisa_bontasumii, LCSW, CMPC, helps our players, staff, and community navigate these challenges. Here are two simple ways to care for your mental wellness: ➟ Pause and breathe. Even a minute of intentional breathing can help calm the mind and body. ➟ Reach out. Connection builds support and belonging, protecting against burnout and isolation. Let’s keep breaking stigma and prioritizing mental health! #KnowYourRoots | #MentalHealthDay
