“I strongly believe in the importance of mental health services, as do athletes and coaches. It’s an important part of them being the best versions of themselves, yet the utilization rates are lower than what the epidemiological data says that they should be,” says Dr. Aguilar. This new Institute aims to address barriers that prevent athletes from seeking mental health services, such as stigma, availability, and cost, making specialized mental health services more accessible to athletes.
“We are about 2 weeks into the institute being open, and we are already providing services to professional athletes and high school athletes,” says Dr. Aguilar. Not only is he focused on clinical care, but he also aims to expand research, in collaboration with other departments, as well as increase mental health awareness in the community.
Dr. Aguilar’s past work with professional athletes has significantly informed his program development with the new institute. “When a college or high school athlete hears that we have a sports psychiatrist who works with professional teams, they’re more likely to say yes to the services,” he explains.
