Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

Q7) My first #TotalWellnessChat question for you, @TroyVincentSr, what led you to create the @NFL Total Wellness platform in 2012 and focus resources on the wellbeing and #MentalHealth of the NFL community?

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

A6) @TroyVincentSr: Culture change takes a long time, and requires great effort from many spaces. The hope is that the program is helping to advance the total wellness of all players, their families, and members of the extended @NFL community. #TotalWellnessChat

Troy Vincent, Sr.@TroyVincentSr

Q6) @drnyaka: How has Total Wellness had an impact on current @NFL players’ and @NFLLegends’ wellbeing? #TotalWellnessChat

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

A5) @TroyVincentSr: There is no one-size-fits-all approach. The resources that are available to connect him with the right professional for his challenge. Together they determine the best course of treatment. #TotalWellnessChat

Troy Vincent, Sr.@TroyVincentSr

Q5) @drnyaka: What kind of treatment options are available? #TotalWellnessChat

But members of the @NFL family don’t need to be in crisis to use this resource. It can assist with solving day-to-day problems, and is an opportunity to get support from a trained resource.

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

A4) @TroyVincentSr: The @NFL Life Line is a confidential resource exclusively for players, @NFLLegends and their families who are in crisis. In its 10 years, the NFL Life Line has fielded more than 2,700 calls and 745 chats. #TotalWellnessChat

Troy Vincent, Sr.@TroyVincentSr

Q4) @drnyaka: If a member of the @NFL family is in crisis, what resources are available to them? #TotalWellnessChat

They also deal with the challenge of navigating a culture that overemphasizes physical performance sometimes at the risk of their mental health. @Saints LB @demario__davis and I talk more about that in this panel: bit.ly/3vHCWt0

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

Athletes have the added stressor of being in the public eye, where any misstep is in the spotlight. They're under a constant pressure to perform at the highest level, risking injury.

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

A3) @TroyVincentSr: Sport is a microcosm of society. So we can expect to see players have some of the same challenges as those we see in the general public – anxiety, depression, substance abuse and dependence. #TotalWellnessChat

Troy Vincent, Sr.@TroyVincentSr

Q3) @drnyaka: What unique challenges come up when working with @NFL players and @NFLLegends — or professional athletes in general? #TotalWellnessChat

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

Through the mental health resources offered by Player Care Foundation, @yourPAF, @playerstrust and the @NFLPA, we collaborate to make sure that we can practically meet any mental health need that a current or former @NFL player has.

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

The mental health focused requirements include hiring a licensed provider, creating an emergency action plan & providing club-wide education. We partner with the union to ensure those resources & services are well integrated & always remain confidential.

English

Nyaka NiiLampti@drnyaka·26 May

A2) @TroyVincentSr: Creating a culture that prioritizes building positive #mentalhealth is a collective effort. The current CBA includes a Behavioral Health Agreement, which establishes behavioral health requirements for all 32 clubs. #TotalWellnessChat

Troy Vincent, Sr.@TroyVincentSr

Q2) @drnyaka: How do the league, @NFLPA and all 32 clubs work together to provide resources to the @NFL family? #TotalWellnessChat
