JACKSON, Miss. | The Jackson State University Division of Athletics and Mindflow have announced a partnership that makes Mindflow the mental health resource and education provider for the Mississippi HBCU.

Mindlfow was founded by former student-athletes to help provide accessible and beneficial] mental health resources to student-athletes and athletic staff, and brings a team of 54+ licensed psychologists and sport psychology professionals who specialize in understanding the unique pressures facing student-athletes.

“Mindflow is a leader in the space of mental health when dealing with student-athletes,” Vice President/Director of Athletics Ashley Robinson said. “The NCAA has taken the lead on mental health and the well-being of our student-athletes. As an athletic department, we understand the importance of making sure our student-athletes, as well as staff and coaches, are able to have access to individuals who can help them through any situation. We want our student-athletes to perform at a high level but also understand that in order for that to happen, they have to perform at a high level away from competition.”

Mindflow offers student-athletes one-on-one telehealth sessions, team/group sessions, and consultations for coaches and staff, all with the purpose of improving mental health. Guided resources and monthly webinars are also offered to cover topics including stress management, peak performance and mental wellness strategies designed specifically for athletes and coaches.

Mindflow will be immediately available for all HBCU student-athletes, coaches and athletic department staff at Jackson State University.
