Youth Sports and Mental Health Support and Resources

Mental health is just as important as physical health. At AdventHealth for Children, we believe that participating in youth sports is not just about scoring goals or winning championships, it’s also about fostering resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being in our young athletes.

Our team offers a complimentary mental health navigator that can help guide you to the right mental health care and local resources for your child. Our goal is to get your child back to feeling mentally whole again whether that be on the court, at the ball field or simply just back into a normal routine.
