Mental health apps have revolutionized the way we can approach mental health.
Between their accessibility and community support, these applications are GAME CHANGERS for the busy student-athlete.
Forbes reports, “Historically, brands shied away from talking about mental health due to the stigma surrounding it. However, today more consumers want brands to address mental health openly. In particular, destigmatizing mental health issues through shared experiences is extremely important for brands whose target audience includes Generation-Z, those born between 1995 and 2012. Gen-Z is often described as being tech-savvy, creative and independent. However, many Gen-Zers also feel emotionally distressed.
