BOULDER — Over the last several years, the University of Colorado Athletic Department has developed a holistic approach to student-athlete health that includes far more than dealing with broken bones and damaged tendons.
It also encompasses an incredibly important but often overlooked — or sometimes even ignored — part of the health spectrum: mental health.
"I think if you look at society in general today, mental health is still sort of that taboo topic that people don't really care to talk about," said Miguel Rueda, CU Associate Athletic Director for Health and Performance.
