Virtual Event
For The Mental Heath First AID presented by: WholeHealth Sport
This course is typically $375, However, we've reduced the price to $199!!
Here is what University of Tennessee Head Coach Matt Kredich has to say about taking the Mental Health First Aid course, online, with Samantha Arsenault-Livingstone and Katie Kilty.
Coaches, you are the frontline.
You create the environment for athletes to learn and grow.
You’re the teacher, the supporter, and the direct link to creating a climate of well-being on your team. And, you’re managing athletes’ return to sport while navigating your own. It’s a lot.
Imagine a sport culture where all coaches are equipped with the skills and support needed to recognize and respond to athletes who may be navigating mental health or substance use challenges.
We’re committed to creating and sustaining the necessary infrastructure to make this happen.
