Utes Insider – Jonathan Ravarino on Mental Health

Utah Athletic's Podcasts

With May being Mental Health Awareness Month and the challenges facing everyone during the coronavirus pandemic, we invited Jonathan Ravarino, the director of psychology and wellness for Utah Athletics, to join the program. Since Jonathan came on board in 2015, Utah has experienced tremendous growth in its mental health initiatives for student-athletes and staff. Those resources have become even more valuable since the collegiate athletics season was shut down in mid-March and student-athletes and were unexpectedly sent home. Jonathan and his staff have been working diligently to help everyone in the Utah Athletics family maintain good mental health during these trying times and prepare for what’s ahead. He also offers some great advice to help everyone navigate the challenges of the current pandemic.
