Mental Health Stigma
Reduction

Research consistently shows that
there is a stigma associated with
seeking help for mental health
issues, especially in sports
environments. Many young female
athletes may be hesitant to address
their mental and emotional
challenges due to fear of judgment.

Accessible Mental Health
Resources

Evidence shows that many young female athletes struggle to find appropriate resources tailored to their needs. Research indicates that young female athletes often lack access to diverse and comprehensive mental health support networks that understand their unique challenges.​

Mental Health
​Awareness​

There is a need for training
programs to educate sports
staff and guardians about
recognizing signs of mental
and emotional distress in
young female athletes. Coaches
can play a pivotal role in early
detection and support.​
