AthleteTalk is mental health and wellness app that utilizes a social media wellness feed, multi-day wellness plans, wellness videos, and more to engage athletes in mental health “workouts”. AthleteTalk combines these key features to normalize mental health, break the stigma around mental health and compel athletes to regularly work on their mental health and wellness.
“To partner with New Paltz Athletics on student-athlete mental health is an incredible opportunity. This partnership is consistent with the Hawks goal to provide an athletic and wellness and program that provides transformational, educational, and athletic opportunities for students to grow and develop. I know that Renee has the best interests of her athletes at heart when it comes to life and sports. We aim to maximize the opportunity to enhance mental health within New Paltz athletics by providing Hawks athletics with unparalleled student-athlete mental health engagement strategies.
