Advocate for Change
Sign the Petition.Mandate Mental Health Training.
Support pending MA House and Senate Bills to require annual Mental Health Awareness Training for athletic coaches.
Why This Matters
Coaches are often the most influential adults in student-athletes' lives. They shape culture, set expectations, and directly impact how young people respond to pressure, setbacks, and uncertainty.
Yet many coaches receive little to no training in mental health awareness, suicide prevention, or emotional regulation—skills that are just as critical as game strategy.
By mandating annual Mental Health Awareness Training, we ensure that coaches can recognize warning signs, respond with compassion, and protect the whole athlete—not just the performer.
