Emma Shah speaks with Connor Moore, a previous student athlete, on his experience with mental health resources. Along with the stigma we like believe is no longer around, Emma and Connor discuss the outlets students have for their mental health wellbeing. Boundaries, restructuring, rebranding are some ideas Emma and Connor bounced off each other.

Not college students, but helps bring to light that the approach we currently take isn't serving everyone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZj9anbx5oQ
