Behavioral health impacts people of all ages, from all backgrounds and all walks of life. The world of professional soccer is no exception, with 40 percent of elite soccer players experiencing anxiety or depression.

In Reign Reflections, OL Reign and MultiCare Health System have partnered to tackle this taboo subject with the goal of helping empower people to:

· Acknowledge what they’re feeling

· Take comfort in the fact they’re not alone

· Seek help, if needed

In the second of our three-part video series, OL Reign Academy players Ella Hwang and Eleanor Morrissey open up about finding balance as young athletes and establishing a good support system. Chris Ladish, PhD. speaks to the important of caring for your mental health as you would any other part of your health.

Together, we can destigmatize mental health, paving the way for recovery in our communities. Use #ReignReflections to be a part of this critical conversation.
