The Shipp Show | Episode #2 – Let’s Talk Mental Health

What’s up Saints! Welcome back to The Shipp Show (with two p’s and no t) – The podcast where Maryville University President Dan Shipp and Maryville University Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) President Justin Brewer talk all things athletics. Thank you for coming back to join us for episode 2!

In this episode, we talked mental health. This past April, Justin attended the D2 SAAC Super Regional Convention and was inspired by the mental health content at this conference. So much so, that he and his VP made it one of the key pillars of SAAC at Maryville this year. Mental health is so important for everyone and student athletes are no exception to this. However, there are some stigmas around mental health, mental health treatment and the feeling of “not being ok”…stigmas that need to be broken down. We talk about how to do that and how important it is to prioritize your own mental health. We also talk about what Maryville does to support mental wellness here and efforts that SAAC will be taking to ensure athletes have the resources they need. There is lots and lots of good info packed into this episode so be sure to watch it all!
