About the Mental Health Alliance for Athletes
Our Mission Statement:
"To elevate mental health awareness within the athletic community, offer comprehensive education on mental health and traumatic brain injuries, and facilitate referrals to both modern medicine and alternative treatment professionals, fostering a holistic approach to support the mental and physical health of athletes and sports officials of all ages, and their families."
​
Frustrated by his own struggles to find proper care after concussions, athlete Jordan Meadows founded the Mental Health Alliance for Athletes (MHAA) in January 2024. Jordan, a hockey player with a history of concussions and mental health issues, had trouble finding sufficient treatment options and resources. He wanted to create a resource for athletes and officials to easily access mental health care and traumatic brain injury (TBI) professionals, as well as support, not just for him, but for his loved ones.
Mental Health Alliance for Athletes is a Registered 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit Organization. Because of this, your donations and membership dues may be tax-deductible (see a tax professional for details).
