UCCS and the Mountain Lion Strong program is asking for your support!
Every dollar you donate will be matched 2:1 by a generous donor. That means your gift will have triple the impact!
Mountain Lion Strong is an evidence-based educational program that helps student-athletes with identity development, healthy relationships, goal setting, and holistic wellness.
Led by Dr. Jess Kirby, Mountain Lion Strong is structured on five key pillars:
- Identity
- Healthy Relationships
- Goal Setting and Time Management
- Healthy Eating and Physical Activity
- Wellness for Body and Mind.
Students within the Mountain Lion Strong program receive mentorship and training in: goal setting and time management, becoming an effective teammate and leader, QPR suicide prevention training for all coaches, staff and student leadership, weekly support groups for injured student athletes and much more. According to track athlete and Student Athlete Advisory Council President
Audrey Bloomquist, "Mountain Lion Strong has given us a foundation to not only take care of our own mental health and wellbeing, but to take care of others at UCCS."
Thank you for helping to ensure that no student athlete ever hesitates to ask for help when they need it the most!
