• The Alliance of Social Workers in Sports (ASWIS) has created a COVID-19 website with resources for the athletics community. 
• Several of the nation's leading mental health organizations have collaborated to create PsycHub. This website provides free resources on various mental health topics and includes videos and tip sheets.

OTHER WELLNESS RELATED LINKS

• In times like these, when there are major occurrences in the world, we often have spiritual questions about life's meaning, faith, hope, destiny, purpose, and more. Whether you follow a specific faith tradition or not, you may be seeking pastoral care, spiritual direction, or conversations to help guide your inquiry. We can provide what you need—one-on-one pastoral care or group video chats online. Contact Rev. Dr. Gail Cantor, Director of Spiritual Life at gcantor@endicott.edu if you are interested.
• Join Rev. Dr. Gail Cantor for a ten-minute guided meditation and 20 minutes of dialogue and uplifting connection to help ourselves to stay inspired, strong, and intentional during these challenging times. Meditations will happen every weekday at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. EST. All sessions will be held through Zoom. Click here to join. Password: 721724.
