SELF-REFLECTION & QUIZ

The Sport Mental Health Recognition Tool (SMHRT) can be used by athletes, coaches, family members, and all members of an athlete’s entourage, to recognise mental health problems (but not to diagnose them). 

The SMHRT presents a list of experiences (thoughts, feelings, behaviours, physical changes) that could be indicative of mental health problems. We invite you to self-assess these experiences periodically and if you consider any to be significant or persistent, that you seek support as early as possible. 

Mental health conditions are treatable, and early detection and response leads to better outcomes. Improve your awareness of mental health in elite athletes by taking our quick quiz.
