The Pro Football Hall of Fame is launching a behavioral health program to help current and former players and their families with mental and behavioral health issues.
The Associated Press' Barry Wilner provided the details of the project:
"Hall of Fame Behavioral Health will offer a concierge call center and crisis line to match treatment and counseling services with an accredited network of providers nationwide. Providers are trained to handle issues such as post-career transition, identity, addiction, performance anxiety, mindfulness, and the culture of sports. Such services will complement existing programs and assistance available to players through the NFL and NFLPA.
