ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville Athletics has announced a partnership to make Mindflow their mental health resource and education provider. Mindflow's mission is to aid the mental health of student-athletes and athletic staff by increasing their access to beneficial resources such as one-on-one telehealth sessions, team/group sessions, and consultations.Â
"After an extensive search for an online mental health company that understands the unique needs of student-athletes, MindFlow was the clear leader," said Dr. Laura Jones, Director of Bulldog Mental Health Services. "They not only provide top of the line, online mental health and sport psychology services from highly qualified providers around the country, they work solely with student-athletes, offer flexible scheduling for athlete appointments, and work closely with our program, tailoring services as needed, to ensure that our student-athletes get the best possible care. Not only have our student-athletes really appreciated the providers and services, but our staff has really enjoyed working with Anthony and Caleb. They truly care about supporting the mental health and wellbeing of athletes, and it shows in all that they do. I could not imagine a better fit for UNC Asheville Athletics and the holistic wellbeing of our student-athletes."
Founded by former student-athletes, Mindflow provides access to a curated team of 54+ licensed psychologists and sport-specific psychologists. These professionals understand the unique pressures of collegiate athletics and want to prioritize the mental health of student-athletes as they navigate these pressures.Â
In addition to providing guided sessions, Mindflow offers monthly seminars and resources on topics including stress management, peak performance, and mental wellness strategies designed specifically for athletes and coaches. These include guided visualizations, breathing exercises, meditations, and more.Â
Mindflow will be immediately available for all UNC Asheville student-athletes, coaches, and athletic department staff.Â
