Mouhamad Ballout and Mallie Hall of Wichita State's mental health and performance department join the podcast as part of suicide prevention month. We discuss the importance of prominent figures speaking about mental challenges, and how Ballout and Hall help athletes learn why it is crucial to recharge their batteries. We also talk about handling social media, advice for parents and book recommendations.
The mental health and performance department is holding a mental health summit for Wichita State student-athletes, sponsored by Suspenders4Hope, on Sept. 30.
