SET UP FOR SUCCESS

Thru The Game counselors have extensive experience not only with mental health, but also with coaching and sports. We've found that the camaraderie built through sports encourages honesty and vulnerability, which creates an ideal setting for mental health support and personal growth. Using our proactive approach in a non-threatening environment empowers athletes to apply what they learn on the field to their life situations off the field.
