breaking the silence.
Who we are
Mental Health Resilient is a student-run platform that brings together student-athletes to share stories, support one another, and challenge the stigma around mental health.​​​
Our mission is to create lasting change by making mental health resources easy to access, relatable, and meaningful for athletes.
What we do
We provide student-athletes with relatable stories, curated mental health resources tailored to athletes, and direct support through care packages. We raise awareness of mental health challenges in athletics, and make it easier for athletes to access cost-efficient support alongside professional care.
why we do it
More than 50% of student-athletes struggle with mental health, yet most never ask for help. MHR was created to challenge the mental health stigma in athletics through the voices of student-athletes themselves. ​Sharing stories not only helps release pressure and emotions, but also inspires others to take their first step toward healing.
how we do it
Our team curates trusted articles, reaches out to student-athletes to gather their stories, and shares MHR and its resources with schools and organizations nationwide to raise awareness. We also coordinate with student sports teams to provide care packages to athletes. So far, we've connected with more than 145 athletes across 16 schools nationwide.
