On June 20, 2023, Washington University announced that the athletic department will receive a mental health resident dedicated to supporting all university varsity athletes for the 2023-2024 academic year. This move is part of an ongoing doctoral training program aimed at expanding mental health programs for WashU students.
This spring, a Washington University student-athlete strolled into the training room for a 12:30 appointment for an appointment for shoulder maintenance. They walked out of the Athletic Center at 4 p.m., having spent almost four hours in the training room.
