Sport Social Work
Sport Social Workers advocate for programs that promote equitable access to sport and support athletes' overall well being as they flow through the athletic journey.
- Governing bodies for every athletics sector, youth through collegiate, often offer data and recommendations, but less frequently offer the practical solutions for how to implement programs and support for things like:
Mental Health
Athlete Safety
Coaches Training
Transitions in and out of sport
Community Resource integration
- Let's figure out, together, how to better tend to your student athletes' needs and departmental improvements.
- I will use short term solution focused problem solving and assessment strategies to identify your assets, gaps, and needs to help you figure out what to do what what you have. I will also identify resources that will help fill the gaps.
I am great at teamwork and bring necessary skills to integrated teams that are focused on the athletes' goals of performance and physical/emotional wellness. I have been a part of several multidisciplinary teams in workplace settings as well as a part of a variety of athletic teams.
Contact me to be a part of your team for workshops, events, or seasonal team support.
