College of Health team partners with national leaders to advance youth sport mental health

Congratulations to Associate Professor Will Massey and his graduate students, who traveled to New York in November to co-lead an expert panel of national leaders in youth sport. The convening focused on shaping mental health guidelines for youth sport in the United States and was hosted by Nike at its NYC headquarters.

The research is funded by the Movember Foundation, and Will’s team has been deeply engaged in leading this important initiative. Their efforts aim to improve mental health outcomes in youth sport through systemic, research-informed change.

This event marks a major milestone in the initiative. Stay tuned as the team enters an implementation test phase and continues working toward widespread impact. Kudos to all involved!
