Mental Health and Wellness: Dealing with Disappointment
Mental Health and Wellness is a growing concern, particularly in the time of a pandemic. This past spring the NCAA launched a new Mental Health and Wellness campaign to serve as a platform for student-athletes, administrators, coaches, staff, and support networks across the country. The campaign was started to begin a discussion, speak out on, and break the stigma surrounding mental health.
In conjunction with the NCAA's year-long campaign, the SLIAC will be releasing weekly talks with Dr. Dawn Graff-Haight over the next few weeks. Our goal is to not only provide a starting point to begin talks on mental health and wellness but to offer tips and ways to cope with numerous issues.
This session talks about disappointment and how to deal with failure. We will look at how to handle disappointment and failure, avoiding unhealthy responses, and practicing healthy coping skills. Please come back each week for more tips and tools in learning more about Mental Health and Wellness.
