Hello campus, community partners, From Sidelines to Lifelines: The Mental Health Crisis and Suicide in Athletics Join the OPCSMH on Thursday, October 9th, 2025, for their October 2025 webinar! This month's webinar is special as it is being broadcasted live from the OPCSMH 3rd Campus Safety & Suicide Prevention Symposium. We will be joined by Quentin Shambley, MSN, RN, PMHNP-BC, The Hidden Opponent. Sports are often associated with prestige, excitement, and the pride of competition, offering athletes a unique sense of identity, connection, and purpose. Yet behind the scenes, many face intense pressures - from performance expectations and injury setbacks to identity struggles and isolation - that can quietly lead to depression, crisis, and, in some tragic cases, suicide. In this powerful and informative session, Quentin Shambley, The Hidden Opponent Clinical Advisory Board Member and psychiatric nurse practitioner with over a decade of experience, combines professional insight with personal experience as a former Division I football player to explore the unique mental health challenges athletes face. Through both clinical education and personal storytelling, Quentin equips athletes, coaches, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders with the knowledge, empathy, and practical tools needed to better recognize and respond to mental health struggles, ultimately fostering safer, more supportive athletic environments.
