Your Therapist Needs Therapy

This week Jeremy is joined by the head athletic trainer at Illinois-Wesleyan University Melissa Perkins. Jeremy and Melissa go way back, having worked together in college athletics. They talk about the importance of work-life balance in the helping professions, supporting mental health through difficult transitions, and some of the progress and some of the ongoing challenges around athlete mental health.
