ATHLETIC TRAINING ROOM, Location: Larry K. Durham Center
Every athletic trainer is equipped to talk with you about your mental health and any struggles that you may be experiencing. That means you can go to your team athletic trainer or any other athletic trainer that we have on staff, if you feel comfortable. They will listen and will be able to help you, guide you or steer you in a direction that will benefit you and your mental wellbeing.
COACHES AND ATHLETIC STAFF
If you’re comfortable, your coaches are a great place to start talking about your mental health and wellbeing. Athletics staff members, such as your MAAC advisor, strength and conditioning coach, or sport administrator, are also great people to reach out to.
EMERGENCE HEALTH NETWORK
- Note: The process for being set up with Emergence starts with your athletic trainer. It is a service that is completely free to any student-athlete while school is in session and completely confidential for all student-athletes. This means that what a student-athlete and a counselor discuss will never be repeated to a coach, athletic trainer or any member of the UTEP Athletics administration. Simply state to any athletic trainer that you wish to be set up with Emergence, and he/she can help schedule an appointment - no questions asked. Appointments are available both virtually and in-person.
