Athlete topic brief

Supporting a teammate

Listen, take concern seriously and connect—not diagnose or carry it alone.

Why this shows up in sport

Team proximity means athletes often notice change first. It does not make them responsible for treatment or crisis management.

Questions to sit with

You do not need to answer these online. MindsMelt does not collect or score them.

  • 01

    Can I ask directly and listen without fixing?

  • 02

    Who is the safe professional route?

  • 03

    Is there immediate risk that needs urgent help?

One next step

Say what you noticed, ask how they are, and offer to connect them to qualified help.
