The partnership will staff clinicians to develop prevention programs and educational content, focused on K-12 schools, to improve the behavioral health outcomes of student-athletes, according to a Nov. 20 news release.

The program will first launch at UO Portland’s new northeast campus in the fall of 2024, the release said.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
