Identity: From Childhood to Adulthood, Athletics, and Mental Health. Anew U Counseling Services
🎙️ Wellness Wednesday with Sports Shop Radio
The latest discussion on the Sports Shop Radio Show for Wellness Wednesday:
Rasheedah Fletcher, LCMHCA discussed how many young men are encouraged and often pressured to excel in sports as a way to "make it" for themselves and their families, and what can happen to their mental health and sense of identity when that path doesn't unfold as expected. She'll also explore identity formation, the transition away from athletics at the collegiate and professional levels, and how a lack of identity outside of sports can contribute to depression in both young and adult men.
Be sure to tune in every 1st and 3rd Wednesday each month as members of the Anew U team share insights, resources, and practical tools related to mental health, relationships, parenting, self-care, stress management, and so much more.
