A stellar panel of experts will explore what it looks like to truly cover the mental health needs of college athletes by moving beyond opinion and digging into the budget line items and numbers. After hiring a clinician or two, what are the other costs associated with college athletes’ mental health care? How are the investments currently made in college athlete mental health lived and experienced by the athletes? How are athletic departments assessing the return on these investments and, if necessary, adapting their cost models? How are the athletes themselves involved in these assessments? What does it truly cost to be compliant with NCAA Bylaw 16.4.2 that requires member institutions to provide mental health services and resources for college athletes consistent with the Interassociation Consensus: Mental Health Best Practices?
