Sports Gumbo episodes have featured athletes and professionals who seem to have it all. It is, however, important to place an emphasis on mental health, along with physical health and strength. Thankfully, society at large is more conversant on this topic, and has a heightened awareness on the topic of suicide prevention. In this episode, Eric and Drew are joined by Sports Gumbo Correspondent, Yvonne Harris. Together they discuss how athletes need to be supported with their mental performance, just like their physical performance.
For our listeners, we want to make sure you are aware that September is National Suicide Prevention Monday, and September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. Let’s create safe spaces to support each other with our mental health struggles. If you are experiencing difficult thoughts, and need immediate support, call 988 or 911.
