The realm of mental health is expansive, encompassing diverse perspectives on well-being. While this page provides only a glimpse into the vast landscape, it offers you a launchpad for exploration. If your concerns are more specific, don't hesitate to connect with the TWU Wellness Centre's mental health team. Remember, you're not alone. Many have walked this path before, and many more will follow. It's crucial to recognize that being in a challenging space is valid, and seeking help is a commendable step.

As athletes, we diligently train our bodies and skills. Yet, we often overlook the training our minds require. Beneath many mental health challenges lies the need for flexibility. Just as we cultivate physical flexibility in our training, we must extend the same flexibility to our mental well-being. While mental strength can be our ally, there are times when a different approach is essential. It's about finding balance, embracing varied strategies, and fostering a holistic approach to your mental journey.
