Sports clubs have the potential to provide a profound and positive impact on the mental health of their younger members, but the whole club must be engaged to make a real difference. 

A new study by Flinders University shows that while coaches are often the focus of mental health efforts in sport, real and sustainable change relies on recognising the role of all club stakeholders including parents, committee members, trainers and volunteers.  

Distinguished psychiatrist John M. Oldham, MD, MS, discusses his pivotal role in developing the Alternative DSM-5 Model for Personality Disorders and creating assessment tools that bridge clinical practice with scientific rigor. His landmark work spans leadership positions at Columbia, Cornell, and Baylor, including serving as Chief Medical Officer for the New York State Office of Mental Health during 9/11.
