SGASD Supports Student-Athlete Mental Health

In February, the YAIAA held a Student-Athlete Mental Health Symposium at Susquehannock High School, which was open to all York-Adams Interscholastic Athletic Association (YAIAA) athletes and their families. SGASD was proud to be a part of the Symposium. A group of our counselors and social workers helped organize and present at the event.

The first hour was spent communicating with coaches to help create a healthy climate on and off the field. Depression, anxiety, youth suicide prevention, and more were discussed. In the second hour of the symposium, the student-athletes went into a classroom setting while the parents headed to the auditorium. In the final 10 minutes, they were brought together as a student panel and offered valuable perspectives.

Thank you, Christine Kenney, Carl Barnes, Chris Mundy, Carrie Schmoyer, Michaela Landis, and Shannon Engles, for being part of this important event!
